Sorry for the long delay,

I tried a view VNC clients for Windows and FreeBSD, but all show exactly
the same disfunctional/shifted keys (german maps here).

It seems that keymapping is done twice?!?
If I use en_US layout on the machine running VNC Client, I get correct
_german_ keystrokes inside the guest (since the guest was configured for
german layout)

Windows clients "VNC viewer plus" and "RealVNC" most times can't connect
because »RFB protocol error: unknown rect encoding 255«
Early connection during guest's boot process allows these to connect!?!

I have absolutely no clue about VNC, so I guess it's simply my fault. If
anybody knows how to feed VNC-client with unmapped keystrokes please
drop me a note! Or what these RFB protocol errors mean...

Here's a list I created before trying en_US layout...

keycode 11+s (2): 0x22 becomes 0xc4 (keycode 48+s)
keycode 12+s (3): 0xa7 becomes '' (Unhandled ps2 keyboard keysym 0xa7)

keycode 34: 0xfc becomes '' (Unhandled ps2 keyboard keysym 0xfc)

keycode 35+s: 0x2a becomes 0x28 (keycode 17+s)
keycode 35: 0x2b becomes 0xfe51 (keycode 21)

keycode 49+s: Unhandled ps2 keyboard keysym 0xb0
keycode 49: Unhandled ps2 keyboard keysym 0xfe52

keycode 51+s: 0x27 becomes 0xc4 (keycode 48+s)
keycode 51:  0x23 becomes 0x33 (keycode 12)

keycode 59+s: 0x3b becomes 0xd6 (keycode 47+s)
keycode 60+s: 0x3a becomes 0xd6 (keycode 47+s, like kc59+s)

keycode 61+s: 0x5f becomes 0x3f (keycode 20+s)
keycode 61: 0x2d becomes 0xdf (keycode 20)

keycode 94: 0x3c becomes 0x2c (keycode 59)
