you will not see big letters in my comment because of the shift problem.
i am using intrepid as host which is updated to kernel 2.6.27-8-generic, vmware is version 2.0.
before i even start any of the vm machines, i have problem with the keyboard. yes, vmware service is started.
in gnome-terminal, when i press shift, it changes from filled square to non filled square.
i can't press shift characters and workaround is to press alt, then press shift, then release alt and then desired letter.
with this trick i can enter my password now.

i used solution 2. from here http:// nthrbldyblg. blogspot. com/2008/ 06/vmware- and-fubar- keyboard- effect. html and keyboard is working in my vmware machines (winxp pro sp3), but not in my host linux.
strange thing is this happened yesterday.
setxkbmap didn't worked for me.
i am using only croatian keyboard layout on my lenovo r60 with ati video card.
keyboard is working ok in my console ctrl-alt-f5
