Bug Description
Binary package hint: virt-manager
Virt Manager now allows you to select a keymap for the display device.
By default, "same as host" is selected. However on my system (locale fr_FR) it ends up selecting "en-us" in that case. I have to remove the display, create a new one, uncheck "same as host" and manually enter "fr" to get the right keymap.
I suspect some conversion from fr_FR -> fr failed and "en-us" gets picked up as a default choice ?

Description of problem:
I have created two virtual machines with virt-manager:
- Windows XP (32bit)
- Fedora 10 (64bit).
Both installed without problems, but when I try to make any text input in either of the guest OS, I get a strange, 'qwertyu' type keyboard layout.
On the host, I am using KDE 4.2, a German keyboard (evdev-managed) with DE layout. Changing keyboard model from edev-managed to Generic doesn't make any noticeable difference.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 10.fc10. x86_6 9.1-10. fc10.x86_ 64 0.6.0-5. fc10.x86_ 64
kvm-74-
qemu-0.
virt-manager-
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create virtual machine with virt-manager
2. Start guest from virt-manager
3. Enter text in guest
Actual results:
Unexpected keyboard layout of unknown type, unusable
Expected results:
German 'qwertzu' keyboard layout
Additional info:
1. Whenever I switch the keyboard layout to "US" on the host, I immediately get a layout on the guest which is nearly ok (no symbols obtainable with the AltGr key); when I switch back to "DE", the borked layout is back.
2. When I run any of the guests with the qemu-kvm command, I get a guest layout which is nearly ok as well.
