Hi,

I do have some trouble with german keyboard layout when running with
VNC-X-Server: Umlaut-Keys are dead, some of the number-key show wron shift-symbols.

Running against an "real" X-Server does not raise that problem.

Guest OS is Windows Vista

Running an xterm on that VNX-Server also allost to type umlauts.

How can I fix this problem?

Pass the appropriate -k option to QEMU to set the keytab. Normally,
with SDL, QEMU is smart enough to look at the hardware keycodes if they're available. Under a VNC server, I suspect they aren't available so you'll have to explicitly tell QEMU how to map X11 keysyms to what would be the appropriate key sequences.

'qemu-system-x86_64 -k de' is probably what you're looking for.

Regards.
