    Hi,

    I am not sure wether this is a OS-dependent problem, but: I would like to use special characters like @ in X11 too. Right now this isn't possible - I am not able to write this character, not to tell about [] or {}. What do I have to put into the configuration file so that the correct keys are used?

    (and as a second question: is it possible to use the same drag&drop-system for Mac and the virtual systems? Sometimes I want to cut&paste text between my mac and the virtual systems and I don't like to need ssh or the psf for that...)

    Thanks in advance,

    Rince

    Hello Rince.

    Could you please add the content of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to this thread. I think this could help us to understand the keyboard map problems!

    Yes, Copy-Paste and Drag'n'Drop could be very usefull, but now we are working on these features for Linux guest...

    I suppose this is due to keyboard mapping for PC, and Mac OS
