Description Miguel de Icaza 2005-08-29 12:59:43 UTC 
After running vmware-config.pl the keyboard stops responding.

The machine is still usable, so you can run some commands by creative use of
cut-and-paste in terminals but the keyboard wont work, including switching out
of X with Control-Alt-F1 or any other combination.
Comment 1 Vojtech Pavlik 2005-08-31 15:40:07 UTC 
Does this happen when you run vmware-config.pl in the console, too?
Does this happen in a non-Gnome environment? Since the mouse is working,
this means the kernel kbd/mouse drivers are not disturbed. Is this a PS/2
or USB keyboard?
Comment 2 Miguel de Icaza 2005-08-31 16:22:29 UTC 
It happens after vmware-config.pl restarts the modules.

I do not know about the Console, I will try on the next beta (I had to go back
my backup drive).

This happens with the built-in keyboard on a ThinkPad T42p.
Comment 3 Vojtech Pavlik 2006-01-11 11:06:38 UTC 
What's the current status here (10.0 final)?
Comment 4 Vojtech Pavlik 2006-02-07 13:16:45 UTC 
A month in NEEDINFO -> closing as invalid. If you can reproduce on 10.0,
please reopen.
Comment 5 Vojtech Pavlik 2006-02-07 14:38:30 UTC 
Closing.
