VMware Player / Workstation Keyboard Mapping Problem
After switching from Debian Unstable to Kubuntu 8.10 I reinstalled my VMware Player 2.5.1 and started my Windows XP virtual machine. Soon I found that most of the keys near the numeric pad (del, home, right enter, etc) are either not working at all or doing wrong things. The obvious reason was some wrong keyboard mappings.
Solution:
$ echo 'xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true' > ~/.vmware/config
or if the config already exists
$ echo 'xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true' >> ~/.vmware/config

Hey, it seems that you are using AdBlocking software just like me.
However I tend to disable it for small blogs like this one. If you would like to help me pay for my webhosting please allow your Adblocking software to show adverts from this site. Thanks!

Thanks man!
Really helped on Fedora 10 x64, just instead of config there are ‘preferences’
$ echo ‘xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true’ >> ~/.vmware/preferences
