Hello, I've been playing with Xen stuff on Fedora 12 host/dom0, and I noticed the Xen PV guest graphical console (vfb) keymap is not set up automatically anymore, like it was with RHEL5 version of virt-install/virt-manager tools. I opened bugzilla entry about this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533707

I'm fairly sure Xen is also using a new enough QEMU for the VNC extension since it has been in QEMU for a long time now.
