Here's a workaround that I haven't heard mentioned yet. I'm using VMWare workstation to run winxp on ubuntu 8.04. I had the same problems described in this email when running the vmware session in full screen mode. The setxkbmap worked for me, but was a annoying to have to repeatedly apply.
What I've been doing instead (for about a month now without noticable problems) is to launch the vmware session and then use remote desktop to access the session and run in full screen mode. Its a bit convoluted (remote desktop to vmware session) but seems to work. -- Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
