Simple question: does Ctrl-C do that even outside of VMware ? As for "can't login after restart", it may be caused by 'Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"'. In short, I suspect a configuration problem. Nope, in X on the host, CTRL combinations is sent to the window that has input focus. That is the thing that surprises me, that the keystrokes to the guest are sent to some terminal that owns the xserver (startx?) process. Otherwise I suppose it would not behave that way. Or would it? As of config issues, none of that was changed when the error first occured, so it seems a bit odd it would be something in that area. The "AutoAddDevices off" was there because of HAL misbehaving severly, but I disabled it entirely instead so I'll remove this flag. IIRC, hal was never misbehaving, just people failed to properly configure things in it. I never used VMware, so I can't really compare with my own experiences. xorg-server 1.5.3 should properly set the console in raw mode (whatever that means - just quoting from the sources), which should disable Ctrl-C affecting the sever. It does for me, but again, that should be for all of the apps, maybe VMware does something that confuses the server. Ok, I emerged the 6.5.1 workstation, and now it works again... Thanks for the comments, though. |
Hi. After the switch from 2007.0 to 2008.0 and the latest emerge -avuND and reboot I have a strange error. I do not recall any critical packages being merged, but it seems it was the upgrade that triggered it: When running a Windows XP guest in vmware workstation, not all keyboard mappings are intercepted. It seems rational that maybe CTRL+ALT+F* should be sent to the X server, but in this case, CTRL-C (which as we all know is frequently used to copy text in windows) is sent directly to X, killing it in a very abrupt manner. After that, I cannot log back in to X (kdm works, though) and have to reboot the machine. It is indeed some problem with the keyboard grabbing, as the clipboard works if I use Edit -> copy in the windows apps. Also, CTRL-S in the guest enables Scroll lock on the keyboard, which it has not done earlier. I wonder what was broken by this upgrade... --- I have the following setup: app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.23 app-emulation/vmware-workstation-6.5.0.118166 x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3 /etc/vmware/config: .encoding = "UTF-8" vix.libdir = "/opt/vmware/workstation/lib/vmware-vix" vmware.fullpath = "/opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware" NETWORKING = "yes" VMBLOCK_CONFED = "yes" gksu.rootMethod = "su" libdir = "/opt/vmware/workstation/lib/vmware" VMCI_CONFED = "yes" VSOCK_CONFED = "yes" initscriptdir = "/etc/init.d" authd.fullpath = "/opt/vmware/workstation/sbin/vmware-authd" bindir = "/opt/vmware/workstation/bin" product.buildNumber = "118166" product.version = "6.5.0" product.name = "VMware" #xkeymap.usekeycodeMap = true xkeymap.keycode.107 = 0x54 # PrintScr xkeymap.language = se104 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 /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.Org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 # Screen 1 "Screen1" rightOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "PS/2 Mouse" "AlwaysCore" Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "true" EndSection Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/local" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera" FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "ddc" # ddc probing of monitor # Load "GLcore" Load "dbe" # Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "bitmap" # bitmap-fonts # Load "speedo" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "record" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "evdev" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "evdev" Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak" Option "XkbLayout" "se" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2 EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "PS/2 Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" Option "CorePointer" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "ZAxis Mapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor1" VendorName "Studioworks" ModelName "76i" HorizSync 30 - 65 # DDC-probed VertRefresh 50 - 110 # DDC-probed Option "UseEDID" "FALSE" Modeline "1280x1024" 109.2 1280 1328 1448 1704 1024 1026 1027 1068 # These are the DDC-probed settings reported by your monitor.
