[Bug 524318] [NEW] Keyboard mapping is not correct in the guest

[Ara Pulido]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

Using latest qemu-kvm package in Lucid, with both Ubuntu Server 8.04 and
latest Lucid Ubuntu Server as guests.

During the installation of the guest OS, I select Spain - Spain as the
keyboard mapping. When the installation finishes and I reboot in the new
installed system, the keyboard mapping is not 100% correct.

*Example of a mapping working correctly:*
"ñ", as special character in Spanish, and it is mapped correctly

*Example of a mapping NOT working correctly:*
In a Spanish keyboard, pressing Shift+0, should type "=", but in KVM it types something different.
In general, every special and punctuation characters ("_", ".", ";", "@",..., ...) are not mapped correctly.

I wonder if this happens in other keyboard mapping as well.
