[closed] German keyboard + VirtualBox

Hello,

I use synergy 1.4.5 in the following configuration:

win7 (server)
ubuntu 11.04 (client)
- second ubuntu 11.04 in a VirtualBox on the ubuntu client (without synergy)

My keyboard layout is set to german on all 3 OS. The ubuntu client gets all keystrokes right. The problem is, that ubuntu in the vbox does not get all special characters when i use AltGr, some of them work, some don't.

Below are some examples. To add some info, I used the program showkey inside the vbox ubuntu to track what keystrokes get recognised

Keystroke	Expected character	Working	Showkey output
AltGr + e	€	yes	€ 226 0342 0xe2 130 0202 0x82 172 0254 0xac
AltGr + m	µ	yes	µ 194 0302 0xc2 181 0265 0xb5
AltGr + q	@	no	^@ 0 0000 0x00
AltGr + 7	{	no	^[ 27 0033 0x1b
AltGr + 8	[	no	^[ 27 0033 0x1b
AltGr + 9	]	no	^] 29 0035 0x1d
AltGr + 0	}	no	^] 29 0035 0x1d

Maybe some of you know why this happens, thanks,

Christian
