Hi, can you please test the ABNT2 keyboard layout with another guest machine? This sounds like a guest machine issue (eg: misconfiguration of the guest os) Virtualbox sends key events (not characters) to the guest os.

Just tested it with the virtual machine from Ubuntu mentioned in the first post, the one with Windows XP as guest also that has a working ABNT2 keyboard when runned on Ubuntu. Unfortunatelly the problem is unchanged in Gentoo. bump: just to remember, this gotta be a Gentoo issue as the same exact vm has a working keyboard in Ubuntu but "eats" letters when run in Gentoo. Still there with 1.5 ? (In reply to comment #4) > Still there with 1.5 ? Unfortunatelly yes. Sorry for the delay. Upstream told us that they don't send keyboard chars but key events (which are always stable unless you have some modifications done in your home). So this seems to be a local issue. Please create a new user and retry with a blank homedir (In reply to comment #6) > Upstream told us that they don't send keyboard chars but key events (which are > always stable unless you have some modifications done in your home).

The problem remains. http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/599 http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/718 seems not only gentoo related and well-known, marking as UPSTREAM then (In reply to comment #8) > http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/599 > http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/718 > > seems not only gentoo related and well-known, marking as UPSTREAM then As I reported in some of my first comments, the exact same virtual machine running on the same version of VirtualBox over Ubuntu worked without problems. It ceartainly was a Gentoo specific issue. Maybe version 1.5.2 of VirtualBox changed that. If you want I can retest VirtualBox 1.5.2 over Ubuntu to see if it still works there. I bet it does ;) |
