Function/arrow keys, etc. not working in vmware on linux

Some keys like arrows, or ctrl-alt-del do not work under linux with vmware server 2.0.

Here is the solution:

Add this line to ~/.vmware/config (create file if necessary):

1
2
   
    xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true

and reboot.

Also note that the CTRL-ALT-INS on linux vmware may not work, so try instead to use the numeric keypad DEL instead of the INS button.
