Greetings. We are under the impression the the keyboard layout for the VNC-server is missing from a vm's xml definition, hence the same default layout is always used. We therefore (just to test) created a small host hook adding a static keyboard layout, and with the hook, it seem to work as expected as the -k switch to kvm is now populated. vm started with our hook <graphics type='vnc' port='5904' autoport='yes' keymap='sv' passwd='***********' passwdValidTo='2016-04-11T09:21:09'> <listen type='network' address='192.168.42.113' network='vdsm-ovirtmgmt' fromConfig='0'/> </graphics> and one without <graphics type='vnc' port='5903' autoport='yes' passwd='*****' passwdValidTo='1970-01-01T00:00:01'> <listen type='network' address='192.168.42.113' network='vdsm-ovirtmgmt' fromConfig='0'/> </graphics> oVirt Engine Version: 3.6.3.4-1.el7.centos Node: oVirt Node Hypervisor release 3.6 (0.999.201512141021.el7.centos) Is this a known issue ?
