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 specic machines.
• To specify a global keymap entry for virtual machines on the host, edit the host’s
xend-config.sxp le.
• To specify a keymap entry for a specic virtual machine, edit the virtual machine’s
settings by following instructions in Section 4.3, “Conguring a Virtual Machine by
Modifying its xend Settings” (page 30).
In the device > vfb section, add the desired keymap entry to the le. For example,
you can specify a German keyboard. Make sure the virtual machine’s operating system
is set to use the specied 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 specied are not automati-
cally updated. These virtual machines start with the keyboard specied 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.
