描述
VirtualBox cannot handle a custom keyboard layout by xmodmap. When entering characters, "abcde..." becomes "anihd...". Attached is the VBox log and the xmodmaprc I'm using. If xmodmap is not invoked, everything is peachy.

Are you using any non-standard keyboard setup? In this case, non-standard means anything other than a PC keyboard used locally on a PC compatible machine. And was the log you posted with or without your custom layout? If it was with it, could you please post a log taken using your normal layout? Thanks very much!

No, it's a pretty standard Logitech USB cordless something on a regular PC.
And was the log you posted with or without your custom layout?
With custom layout. Clean log coming up.

Btw, does it only happen to me ? I figured, as this is new software (at least it is to me) that there were some kinks that wasn't quite ironed out yet ..... but is that actually the case ?

Your layout reversed Ctrl and Caps. This should be fixed in the next version.

After updating to VirtualBox 2.0 this is not working for me anymore. I have a the Ctrl and Caps key switched on my keyboard using xmodmap on Ubuntu 8.04-Host, the behavior in VirtualBox now is that both, Caps-lock and Ctrl are placed at the Ctrl-key. I assume the Caps-lock function is taken from the Host OS, which is there placed at the Ctrl key, and the Guest (Windows XP) is interpreting the Ctrl-key itself, with it's original meaning, ignoring the layout set in xmodmap.

I'm not sure if this is related or not, but I have a similar problem in 2.0 when using setxkbmap and a custom dvorak-style layout. I added my log file and the keymap at #2052

It does *not* work with 3.0.12 on a 64 bit linux host with w2k.
here's my xmodmap
clear Shift clear Lock clear Control clear Mod1 !keycode 117= Multi_key keysym semicolon = colon semicolon colon semicolon colon semicolon keysym quotedbl = quotedbl apostrophe quotedbl apostrophe quotedbl apostrophe keycode 49 = asciitilde grave asciitilde grave asciitilde grave keycode 65 = space space space NoSymbol space !keysym Caps_Lock = Escape keycode 66 = nabla add Shift = Shift_L add Shift = Shift_R add Mod1 = Alt_L add Mod1 = Alt_R add Control = Control_R add Control = Control_L
colon, semicolon, apostrophe and quotedbl do not work.

I also experience this behavior on 3.1 (3.1.2-56127_Ubuntu_karmic to be exact). I xmodmap my us-dvorak layout in Xorg and it affects the vanilla QWERTY layout in my Windows 7 guest. :)
Thank you. I love this software.

Confirmed a very similar malfunction on Ubuntu Karmic 64bit. Virtualbox Version 3.1.4 r57640 installed from development repository. Without xmodmap the keyboard maps perfectly. With xmodmap all characters are mismapped except the letter 'a'. uname -a Linux nn.uninett.no 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 02:39:34 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Apart from this virtualbox is excellent. Running in a separate login without keyboard remapping and doing precisely what I need.

This is not an Ubuntu bug, it is a genuine issue in VirtualBox. This is now fixed in our development repository. I will close this as a duplicate of ticket #2595 since I handled the issue there.
