Comment 202 for bug 195982

Made a typo in the second sentence. Should be 8.04, not 8.10!
==========================================

Hi,

The VMWare keybord vs Linux (Ubuntu only?) issue continues. In 8.04, the after effects of using VMWare Desktop in Ubuntu where easily solved by executing the "setxkbmap" after switching back to the host.

But... in Ubuntu 8.10 it have turned to the worse. Now the "setxkbmap" doesn't have any effect any longer. It messes up the shift and ctrl keys so I can't make the "shift-ctrl-v" for copying text into a text terminal. In the VMWare client, the "Alt Gr" - key have turned into an "enter" -key, for example making a newline when pressed in text editor. This means that I can't use some keys to produce certain characters when switching to a VMWare client.

I still hope that there will be a solution to this problem, as I do love to use Ubuntu.
