I just encounter this problem after upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10. I do a refresh
install of 8.10 so there should not be a problem of VMWare.
To solve this problem, there're two ways:
1.Add xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true to config file.
2.Add these code.
xkeymap.keycode.108 = 0x138 # Alt_R
xkeymap.keycode.106 = 0x135 # KP_Divide
xkeymap.keycode.104 = 0x11c # KP_Enter
xkeymap.keycode.111 = 0x148 # Up
xkeymap.keycode.116 = 0x150 # Down
xkeymap.keycode.113 = 0x14b # Left
xkeymap.keycode.114 = 0x14d # Right
xkeymap.keycode.105 = 0x11d # Control_R
xkeymap.keycode.118 = 0x152 # Insert
xkeymap.keycode.119 = 0x153 # Delete
xkeymap.keycode.110 = 0x147 # Home
xkeymap.keycode.115 = 0x14f # End
xkeymap.keycode.112 = 0x149 # Prior
xkeymap.keycode.117 = 0x151 # Next
xkeymap.keycode.78 = 0x46 # Scroll_Lock
xkeymap.keycode.127 = 0x100 # Pause
xkeymap.keycode.133 = 0x15b # Meta_L
xkeymap.keycode.134 = 0x15c # Meta_R
xkeymap.keycode.135 = 0x15d # Menu
They are both work on my desktop.
But there still another problem. When using VNC (x11vncserver as server and
xtightvncviewer as client) to connect from notebook to desktop. My notebook use
8.04 and desktop use 8.10. Before I upgrade, they are work perfect under any
situation. But after I use 8.10RC on desktop, I can type any characters in
remote Gnome environment, but I can't type these characters in VMware: < ( ).
'<' characters are mapped to "|" character, and '(' and ')' are mapped to
another key.
If I do not use the above two ways, I can type any characters. But my desktop
can't type arrow key
, just same as the above problem.
So if the key mapping still a BUG here? OR if my notebook should upgrade to
8.10?? I don't like install my computer. Any ideas?
