Running VMware Workstation 6.5 on Ubuntu 8.10

Hello all,

I'm just look to see if anyone else is running the Linux version of VMware Workstation 6.5 on Ubuntu 8.10 and what are they seeing? Also what kind of HW are you running? Are you getting success with Unity and how does your VM run with compiz?

I've notice running VMW6.5 on Ubuntu with a Windows VM the screen saver is not cool at all. I would connect to AD which has the screen saver set. The only way around this is to log on locally so that the screen saver will not run. The main problem I see with the screen saver is when I run the "Unity" option. Once the screen saver came on I would have about 50 to 100 window open on the Windows VM, not cool at all.

My arrow keys do not working in my VM. They did work in Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04, but not in 8.10. I've upgraded workstation to 6.5.1 and still not go.

Here is a quick fix to the problem. KEYBOARD-FIX
