I am running VMWare server 1.0.6 on Kubuntu 8.0.4.1 Hardy with a Windows XP Professional Guest OS. Every time I launch vmware, after a period of time my shift and caps lock keys stop working. I am able to use the system "normally" with the exception that I cannot use upper-case text. If I log out and back in my shift and caps lock keys work again. Once I start vmware the same thing happens again. It doesn't appear to happen right away either. Sometimes it may happen immediately, sometimes it may happen after 5 minutes of use. This never used to happen to me on Kubuntu 7.10.
This has been driving me crazy. Any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated.
