Hi,
I just recently installed Workstation 10 on a machine running Ubuntu 13.10. Every time I release the mouse/keyboard from a guest vm, my right shift key gets disabled. In order to get it working again, I have to run "setxkbmap" from my terminal.
I also noticed that whenever I run a VM controls the input devices it blanks out the output for xmodmap -pm. Normally it looks like this:
xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Caps_Lock (0x42), Control_R (0x69)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x6c), Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Super_L (0x85), Super_R (0x86), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c), Mode_switch (0xcb)
However, as soon as a guest controls the keyboard, no values will show up in the right column when running the command. Has anyone run into this before? Are there some values in my vmware config
I need to set to make this work correctly? Thank you for your help.
