8042/BIOS16 keyboard issues

Reported by: dldall Owned by:
Component: guest control Version: VirtualBox 5.0.12
Keywords: 8042/BIOS16 keyboard Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: Windows

Description

VB 5.0.12 keyboard for BIOS16 users (DOS etc) is not working good for two main reasons:

a) modifiers keys (alt, shift, ctrl) are sticky or not detected b) spurios keys issued while no one key is pressed

2. captured video: http://yadi.sk/d/Ibvjeu-03Jsfd7

video description: i try to enter keys and try to edit the wrong one by pressing shift+cursor to block mark

  • shift+cursor is not work, but instead i got
  • some entered keys lost
  • sometimes shift is switched ON without my will and begun to produce block selection when i enter text
  • at last shift state of the DOS program and the shift state of real host keyboard lost sync

3. i guess VBox 8042 emulated part or BIOS16 is not compatible with AT-386 existing software, 8042 can not be detected or 8042/BIOS16 can not be used by the software as needed

more decription of error is in forum here: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=394494#p394494

PS: Advise me to install new version of VBox if only the keybord code in new version of VBox was really rewritten
