Hi John,

...

i have the latest patch level of opensuse 11.0, 32bit installation. i use kde 3.5 desktop. from time to time when administrating a windows vmware server image with vmware server console 1.0.7 it happens that the keyboard does become not fully functional on kde -- all special keys like capslock, shift, control, f-keys do not work on kde. but they do work inside the vm window. currently this is the case. can't type uppercase letters. other users with the same os release but with vmware workstation 6.5 report the same issue occasionally.

any idea what causes this problem [questionmark]

I've had this problem on rare occasion on Vmware 6, (but not 6.5). I think you would get better answers on the Vmware Forum where there are people have experience with this [period]

Thanks for your reply. Inside the VM it's okay. It's on KDE. Switching the keyboard layout from US to CH and back using the KDE keyboard tool (kxkb) fixed that issue. /opt/kde3/bin/kxkb -v Qt: 3.3.8b KDE: 3.5.9 "release 49.1" KDE Keyboard Tool: 1.0 Bye, Bernd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
