I have also experienced this recently when I installed new VMs. I did |
| 12 |
some research and found a post on the vmware forums[1]. The solution |
| 13 |
for me was to add this line to /etc/vmware-server-console/config: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I thought my issue was related to the fact that I'm using |
| 18 |
vmware-server-console on my 32-bit Gentoo laptop and trying to send |
| 19 |
commands to a 64-bit CentOS VM running on a 64-bit CentOS host on my |
| 20 |
LAN. But since you're seeing this issue too with existing VMs, perhaps |
| 21 |
it's related to the recent Xorg upgrade? |
