bhyve Bhyve and non US-Keyboards

[tennea9]

Hello everyone,

I know this topic has been discussed several times before, but the problem is still remaining.
The Client computer, accessing a VM via VNC still needs to be in QWERTY in order to access another keyboard in the VM.
This problem has been fixed on illumos with -K option.
I know that a patch exists for FreeBSD (with this -K option), unfortunately, I did not understand how to apply it.
The usr.sbin folder has disappeared on 13.1, so I did not find how to apply the patch.

Does someone has an idea to fix this ?
It's really complicated for Windows Clients to access VMs with this problem. They get even more problems than when the Client is on Linux/FreeBSD.
I take every option you would propose you !

Thank you very much

I know that a patch exists for FreeBSD

Where?

The usr.sbin folder has disappeared on 13.1

I'm pretty sure it's still there:

$ ls -d /usr/src/usr.sbin
/usr/src/usr.sbin

Provide links, output of the failing commands, etc. instead of trying to describe your observations, pretty please.

Indeed, it's /usr/src/.

Here is the patch

That page says:

These patches was merged into the FreeBSD-CURRENT source-tree on 2022/1/21.

Which version of FreeBSD are you running?

Looks like the patch is not in 13.1, but will be in upcoming 13.2 release, so you will not have to apply these patches once you have upgraded to 13.2.

13.1-RELEASE-p6

Ok, I'll go for CURRENT then !

Thank you very much.

Please don't, release builds should start very soon (today?) for 13.2-RELEASE, just wait a bit, or install the latest 13.2-RC build and upgrade using freebsd-update once 13.2-RELEASE is out.
