(Get the code!)
Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps I am in the wrong bug - but 327963 doesn't seem to be right for me either.
In effect, I have no need for any variant of the Mac keyboard. I have a MacBook Pro 2.2 (now running Karmic, though the problem was also in Jaunty). I installed VirtualBox 3.0 to run XP and everything was working prefectly (i.e. in XP, to get to the Alt-F4 key, I would still have to use the Mac configuration of ALT+FN+F4). I was happy.
Then for some reason I lost the Keyboard in the Host (although a plugged USB KB works). At the same time, the keyboard in XP went to a generic 105 - meaning the that I can't now access the FN key to get to Home/End/F-keys, etc. To correct, this I attempted to specify to Ubuntu that I had a Mac Keyboard with US layout. This was where I ran into this bug. The only way I could fix it was to go back to a Generic 102 (or 105) keyboard.
Ubuntu still interprets the key-presses correctly. But something isn't passing it through to the Guest OS properly (meaning I have no delete, only backspace in XP :) Should I in fact be in 327963?
