I am using vmware right now to run different linux guests inside windows.
Windows 7 64 bit
Ubuntu 9.10
Ubuntu 10.04
Archlinux
Computer: Acer aspire 5739G
In all 3 virtual machines there is a problem with keymap when running in unity mode.
Certain key combinations with Alt gr are not working. So it is not possible to write \ | @.
I have seen posts where people having the problem on Linux hosts have solved this by adding keys manually in /etc/vmware.
But since I am using a windows host, I don't know how to make a similar fix.
The key combinations work with no problem when running in windowed mode instead of unity mode. But since I really like unity mode it would be nice to make it work there.
I have tried using official vmware-tools and open-vm-tools on fresh installations of all 3 distros and the problem is present in all scenarios.
