Could you attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log after this issue has occured. Could you run xev to figure out what's the output when you press the affected keys?

The keypresses can be seen in xev (search for Caps_Lock in attached file and below), they must be intercepted later. And I do not see errors in the Xorg log. I managed to restore usability by issuing command "setxkbmap" without parameters - it did not work immediately, but suddenly I noticed the keyboard was working. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When looking at the xev output the following keys should be available and working: state 0x10, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffe5, Caps_Lock), same_screen YES, state 0x10, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, state 0x10, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES, state 0x50, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES, state 0x18, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, No idea what's going on here. I'm afraid only VMWare could help here, but we don't have any developer contacts. Need to close this as WONTFIX. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

For resetting keyboard. Maybe switching to linux console and back helps here. setxkbmap is also an idea.

Except that ctrl-alt-f1 does not switch :-} Well, it seems I have more or less have it under control, thanks.

Never heard that resolution changes from WONTFIX to FIXED unintentionally - also not with the updated bugzilla, which had a lot of bugs with the status changes. I would only report it if you can reproduce it again.

Right. Must have been me, then, with my funky keyboard, during one of my attempts. I'll be on my guard next time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Use 'chvt 1' instead.

Wow! Thanks! You just solved my other problem, switching to text mode inside the guest ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
