Control/Alt/Shift key not work in host

[bzimage]

my host os is ubuntu 904, using workstation 6.5.2, on thinkpad x61.

when the guest os is started up(no matter winxp guest or linux guest), the host 's Control/alt/shift key begin not to work(up/down/left/right key works fine, and Control/alt/shift key works fine in guest os), it bother me very much

I have tried to add

xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true

to ～／.vmware/config, but doesn't work.

I also tried add

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

but still doesn't work:(

I am seeing this same issue running VMWare workstation 6.5.2 hosted on Fedora 11 on a Thinkpad T60p

A logoff/log on resets the keyboard back, but having to do that every time I run a VM is a pain.

Is there any resolution for this issue? I have not been able to find anything that works so far.

Instead of logging on and off, execute 'setxkbmap' on host.It works for me.
