#2302 fixed keys dead when remapped by xkb -> fixed in SVN Clemens Fruhwirth
Description

Xorg supports remapping keys via xkb. A typical way would be:

                Option            "CoreKeyboard"
                Option            "XkbRules"      "xorg"
                Option            "XkbModel"      "pc105"
                Option            "XkbLayout"    "us"
                Option            "XkbOptions"  "therp:desktop"

Additionally we put the following line into /etc/X11/xkb/rules/base (or xorg in the same dir):

therp:desktop         =       +therp(desktop)

This teaches Xorg to treat the option string "therp:desktop" namely by resolving it to +therp(desktop).

Further we need to add the line

--p----- -m------ therp(desktop)

to /etc/X11/xkb/symbols.dir

And finally add a file called therp to /etc/X11/xkb/symbols with the following content:

partial modifier_keys 
xkb_symbols "desktop" {
    key <AD11>  {  symbols[Group1]= [ parenleft, braceleft ] };
    key <AD12>  {  symbols[Group1]= [ parenright, braceright ] };
    key <AE09> { symbols[Group1]= [         9,    bracketleft       ]       };
    key <AE10> { symbols[Group1]= [         0,    bracketright      ]       };
};

The effect of these lines is that the keys () and [] are swapped on the keyboard. I personally like that as I type round brackets more often and I like them to be accessible without the Shift modifier key.

However, as soon as a key is touched by xkb, it goes dead for VirtualBox. Notice that 0 and 9 wasn't changed, however 0 and 9 don't work even unshifted.

To make it work I have to adjust the layouts manually in the vbox source code and supply vbox with a keymap that resembles my remappings precisely.

Attached is the log file.

#11748 obsolete keyboard swallows/repeats some characters Mathias Walter
Description

VirtualBox is running on Fedora16 and Windows XP fully patched as guest.

If I sit in front of the computer (at work) and run VirtualBox all things are fine.

But if I connect from the home office, the keyboard does not work as expected.

At the Linux host XRDP in combination with TightVNC is configured. From the home office, I connect from Windows 7/WinXP using the onboard Remote Desktop Client. After login to the Xfce session, I start the VM. Windows XP boots well inside the VM.

If I now edit some documents (especially with fast typing), some characters are not shown. They are "swallowed". Sometimes some characters are repeated twice or more times. Any key/key combination is affected. Sometimes just the uppercase character at the beginning of a sentence does not appear, even after hitting the key combination more times.

The strange thing is that this problem was introduced with VirtualBox 4.2. or 4.2.2. It is still not present in the latest 4.1.26. Thus I've just downgraded to 4.1.26 again without changing anything else.

I'm willing to contribute as much as possible to solve this problem.

For easier testing, it would be nice to have VirtualBox 4.1 and 4.2 installed side-by-side. Is this possible?
