Please describe the problem:
Trying to automate a Xen HVM install I use Dogtail's rawinput module.
After clicking in the middle of the VNC console (to gain focus) Dogtail types
the boot command line. There is a strange behavior on ia64 where pressKey(':')
results in ';' character on the VNC console, not ':'.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Use virt-install to start a Xen HVM installation
2. start python
3. use rawinput.pressKey(':') which sould generate a key press event at the VNC
console
4. instead of colon ':' there appears a semi-colen ';'


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
ia64/yes

Other information:
I will test the same setup on x86 to see if the bug is not coming from the VNC
stuff on ia64.
