[Solved] Keyboard mismatch

Post by chem »

Hi,

I'm running Fedora and installed XP on an external USB drive
However, when I type keys they do not print correctly (m is ",", etc..)

Any ideas?

Thanks

Has this ever worked, or did this just start?
Make sure that you do not have a filter set for the keyboard or mouse in the USB section of the guest settings

I installed it a few minutes ago and it was like that since the beginning

There are no filters

Also I set the two keyboards (host and guest) to the same language

Are you running Compiz on the host?
Look at the settings there if you are. Something it confusing the guest system.

How do I check if I'm running it? I haven't explicitly installed it

Thanks for your help
