Hi, this appears to be a problem with the X evdev input driver. Since vmware is a binary package, and this appears to be a problem with th host's X configuration, there's very little the vmware herd can do I'm afraid. I've marked this as a duplicate of the actual bug you're seeing... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 205077 ***
