[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#446336: virtualbox-ose: does weird translations between keypresses and keys

[Sune Vuorela]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.5.0-dfsg2-2
Severity: important


Hi!

Virtualbox is pretty unusable for me, because it does something stupid:

when I e.g. press my t key, the system inside gets the signal from the
key that in some keymap not being mine corresponds to the letter t.

In my keymap (dvorak), the letter t is placed on what on qwerty keymaps
is marked with a k.  If I install a virtual pc (eg. debian) and chooses
dvorak as keymap, it gets "double dvorak'ed" so I have to press the
key on a dvorak keyboard marked as k (which in turns is the letter
marked with v on a qwerty keyboard)

By choosing a qwerty layout inside the virtual computer, my dvorak
letters also gives a dvorak letter layout inside the virtual computer.
But the non-letter chars are still completely weird up.

I hope it is clear what I mean.
