Description
Looking at the log of VirtualBox 4.0.6, it seems to have some problems with my keyboard. I have a Japanese Keyboard and I do not think I am using a custom layout.

Thanks for the report. Do you notice any problems using your keyboard in the guest after you have set the right layout (in the guest)? So that I know if the warning is real or a false positive.

Just checked, and your keyboard layout really isn't in our look-up list. Do you know if it is anything non-standard? Or perhaps our list is just out of date.

It doesn't seem to quite map up to anything in the X.Org keyboard list either. The character obtained by pressing Shift+'0' looks wrong.

My keyboard is an ELECOM TK-U12FYALBK. you can see it here http://blog-imgs-31.fc2.com/m/a/s/masa1992/SH3G0014.jpg
I did not see any weird behavior unless I try to emulate MACOSX, but I am not very familiar with that OS so I cannot tell if it is a false negative. When I emulate it I have strange behavior with shortcuts.
I checked my xorg.conf and got
Section "InputDevice"
# keyboard added by system-config-display
Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "jp106" Option "XkbLayout" "jp"
EndSection
Hope this information will help

What character does shift + '0' produce though on your host system? If it is a non-Latin character I would appreciate a Latin alphabet name or transcription too :)

And sorry for asking, but is this normal for Japanese keyboards? It is what is confusing our keyboard code, which thinks (based on the tables in X.Org) that shift + 0 should produce an "asciitilde" character.

I have two different Japanese keyboards and non of those have the ~ above the 0, look at the picture in previous comment or here http://www.forlanglab.lsu.edu/exams/KeyboardLayout/images/Keyboards/Japanese.png

I can't actually set up a Japanese layout on my Fedora guest system which does "0" when I press shift + "0" (it really does produce "~"). I think that since no one else has mentioned this and it isn't affecting your actual use I will just close the ticket if that is alright. Thanks again for reporting it.
