[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#443500: virtualbox-ose: AltGr not functional inside VMs

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.5.0-dfsg2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

(first, although I ACK it is a wishlist, I let the severity to normal
since it is a very annoying bug, having an impact on the usability of
the package)

when using e.g. an azerty layout (pc105/fr), it is impossible to get
symbols like: {, }, [, ], #, @ inside the VMs. Upstream has a patch for
that and I guess you might want to add it as a patch against the current
debian package, waiting for the upstream to release a newer version.

Attached is a patch based on changeset 3938[1], which works great for
me. (Note that the second original hunk isn't needed.)

Cheers,
