Hi all,
I know Fusion's been discussed forever, but I didn't notice these in
the discussion as I skimmed it.
First, I think I've seen that people have finally got JFW to work
reliably with Fusion. Did anyone ever figure out how to make it
recognize caps lock as a modifier? I've gotten around that a bit by
using the key remapping in version 2.0 to remap enter to insert.
(which means I can ditch Sharpkeys, maybe? Just discovered this a few
weeks ago thanks to some gentle prodding. ...) So not a huge deal to
me if no one's figured this one out..but if you have I'd be interested.
Also, has anyone else noticed, at least on a MacBook, perhaps others
(no idea, since i just have a Macbook) that F9, F10, F11, and F12
don't seem to work under a Windows virtual machine? F1 through F8 are
no problem, though. Again, if there's something I'm missing,
enlightenment would be appreciated.
An observation: I'd been using a virtual Windows machine that I set up
with VMWare 1.X, and then upgraded when I got the 2.0 upgrade. That is
to say, I ran the VM upgrader. I thought that from then on, the VM
took a *lot* longer to get going and stable. Sure, getting the Windows
startup sound didn't take too long, but from that time to when one
could actually do anything with reasonable responsiveness was very
long, sometimes it seemed like a couple minutes. So, I thought I'd
just go ahead and trash the old VM and start over with a new one. The
new VM, same configuration (20 GB virtual hard drive, 1000MB of RAM
allocated, one virtual processor) seems to be behaving much better,
although I can't be entirely sure, having only worked it through a
couple reboots. One thing I can say for sure though, the System Access
from my U3 smart drive loads quite a bit faster now, anyway. And
Window-Eyes seems pretty snappy, too. We'll see if things stay that
way for a while.
