There is actually no auto-detection of the keyboard. QEMU tries to get
the key number directly from X.

This is the problem. Currently QEMU is not able to get the correct key
number when using evdev. Some patches have been posted on the QEMU
mailing list, but the person who has posted it never tried to address
the comments about his patch.

Bug#513210: qemu: keyboard layout not detected

[Marcus Better]

Package: qemu
Version: 0.9.1+svn20081214-1
Severity: normal

Recently qemu stopped detecting the correct keyboard layout (sv). I
have to provide it with the -k option.

Just guessing: could it be related to the fact that I now use the
evdev driver for the keyboard?

I'm running qemu in a regular X.org session (xserver-xorg 1:7.4~5,
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.5.99.901-1).
