Hi,

I'm perfectly aware that I'm running a 'risky' setup here.. nevertheless I
was wondering if somebody else here sees the same behavior:

My VMware HOST is openSUSE Factory, installed VMware 6.5.1 on top. Guest in
VM running WinXP SP2.
Get it working, can boot Virtual Machine, but it ahs very bad behavior: like
keyboard 'mis mapped':
- Pressing 'cursor down' for example always opens the start menu. Mouse acts
sluggish, and many more annoyances.

Does anybody else see such weird behavior? It happens with and without
vmware-tools...
The problem started to appear somewhere around 1 week ago... (kernel updates
/ xorg updates).


I have heard of a similar problem of other virtualizers/emulators.
Such as DOSbox - can you take a look at it ? They describe the
problem...
