arrow keys not working with vmware
you may experience some problems with arrow keys, pg up/pg down and home/end keys with vmware 6.5 and Ubuntu Linux Intrepid 8.10.
a workaround for those problems is to create a file named config under .vmware folder in your home directory and fill it with the following text:
xkeymap.keycode.108 = 0×138 # Alt_R
xkeymap.keycode.106 = 0×135 # KP_Divide
xkeymap.keycode.104 = 0×11c # KP_Enter
xkeymap.keycode.111 = 0×148 # Up
xkeymap.keycode.116 = 0×150 # Down
xkeymap.keycode.113 = 0×14b # Left
xkeymap.keycode.114 = 0×14d # Right
xkeymap.keycode.105 = 0×11d # Control_R
xkeymap.keycode.118 = 0×152 # Insert
xkeymap.keycode.119 = 0×153 # Delete
xkeymap.keycode.110 = 0×147 # Home
xkeymap.keycode.115 = 0×14f # End
xkeymap.keycode.112 = 0×149 # Prior
xkeymap.keycode.117 = 0×151 # Next
xkeymap.keycode.78 = 0×46 # Scroll_Lock
xkeymap.keycode.127 = 0×100 # Pause
xkeymap.keycode.133 = 0×15b # Meta_L
xkeymap.keycode.134 = 0×15c # Meta_R
xkeymap.keycode.135 = 0×15d # Menu

this did not work for me, but the following hint did:

I have the same problem with Fedora 10; everything else works fine. I
want to change the boot sequence so that it always tries to boot from the CD
before booting from the virtual HDD. When I enter BIOS I am unable
to tab over to the boot tab. I created the config file as indicated for Ubunto
but clearly it is not applicable to Fedora.
