i have a strange thing happening these days. when i start vmware, my keyboard layout gets messed up. for example, i am typing this message in evolution. i do not get caps, or various other characters as the shift key seems to have been disabled. this happens when i start vmware. oddly, the apps in vmware windows xp do get proper characters. i see this problem in kde. i cannot check the system console because alt-ctrl-fx also no longer work. stopping vmware does not correct the problem. i need to reboot. ok, i guess there is a command that could probably reset the keyboard. but why is this now happening
the last statement was a question, but i can't type a question mark.
this happens every time i run vmware. i think it started at some time when kde was updated. i am not certain. except that it was not when vmware was updated.
anyone else have this odd behavior
yes, me. and i know the solution: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docT... -- Rainer Klier Research & Development xyzmo SIGNificant Group | Austria | USA | Germany A-4052 Ansfelden, Haiderstraße 23 Tel.: +43 7229 88060-0, E-Mail: rainer.klier@xyzmo.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
