Novell SUSE LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP 11 SP1 - 8-18-2010 VIRTUALIZATION WITH ZEN Manual page 80

To view a virtual machine's current keymap entry, enter the following command on
the Domain0:
xm list -l vm_name | grep keymap
You can specify a keymap entry to be used for all virtual machines and keymap entries
for specific machines.
• To specify a global keymap entry for virtual machines on the host, edit the host's
xend-config.sxp file.
• To specify a keymap entry for a specific virtual machine, edit the virtual machine's
settings by following instructions in Section 5.3, "Configuring a Virtual Machine
by Modifying its Xend Settings" (page 37).
In the device > vfb section, add the desired keymap entry to the file /etc/xen/
xend-config.sxp. For example, you can specify a German keyboard. Make sure
the virtual machine's operating system is set to use the specified keyboard. After you
specify the host's keymap setting, all virtual machines created by using the Create
Virtual Machine Wizard on the host add the host's keymap entry to their virtual machine
settings.
Virtual machines created before a host's keymap entry is specified are not automatically
updated. These virtual machines start with the keyboard specified by the host, but the
keymap entry is not a permanent part of the virtual machine's settings. For the entry
to be permanent, it must be explicitly stated in the virtual machine's settings.
