vmWare doesn't seem to detect the keymap, using a different keymap may help. If it still doesn't work you may dump your XFree and XDirectFB keymap via "xmodmap -pke" and see what's different. The DirectFB keymap is translated to the server's keymap by "programs/Xserver/hw/directfb/directfbKeyboard.c". -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
