[PVE-User] VNC strange behaviour with special characters and AltGr keys

[Florent THOMAS]

Hey folks,

Obviously, asking question mostly helps to find new ways of thinking.
Thanks to this ressource : 
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/wrong-keyboard-layout-at-boot-659701/ 
two solutions are available for my problem.

Apparently, either I change BIOS options or Grub options.

So where is the BIOS conf in pve and what is the correct option that set 
the keyboard layout.

Thanks for all,
