I made the following experiments openSuse 15.2 kde environment qemu 4.2.1 and 5.2.0
VM: android-x86-7.1-r5 (www.android-x86.org) 1. i add a standard 102 keys PC keyboard with "-device usb-kbd" for host numlock is "on" i launch the VM for host numlock is on. We can use the numeric keypad. for guest numlock is off! We can't use the numeric keypad. Now to add the keyboard instead of "-device usb-kbd" I use "-device usb- host, vendorid=<hex number>,productid= <hex number> for host numlock is "on" I launch the VM for host numlock is on. We can use the numeric keypad. for guest numlock is on. We can use the numeric keypad. 2. I add a standard 102 keys PC keyboard with "-device usb-kbd" for the host the keyboard is in state "numlock on" launch the VM wait for launching is finished for the host the keyboard is in state "numlock on". We see that the numlock ligh is on. We can use the numeric keypad. but for the guest the keyboard is in state "numlock off" ! We can't use the numeric keypad. type the key "numlock". the numlock light is switched off. for the host the keyboard is in the state "numlock off". We can't use the numeric keypad to write 0...9, "." for the guest the keyboard is in the state "numlock on" ! We can use the numeric keypad to write 0...9, "." retype the key "numlock" this time the numeric keypad is in state "numlock on" for the host and the guest. We can use the numeric keypad for the host and for the guest ! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873335 Title: Dos Keypad is not working for numbers - numlock is not working Status in QEMU: New Bug description: Hello, i tried to use Qemu 4.2 for Dos, but there is problem what in Dos is not possible turn on Numlock for input numbers, so games need it..
