Fix arrow keys when using XP under wmareplayer
I’ve been using the free vmwareplayer under Ubuntu when I need to use XP for development and testing. However I had problems with the arrow keys not working correctly. Today with a bit of googling I found a solution:
Shut down vmplayer
Type this at the console:
echo ‘xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true’ > ~/.vmware/config
Restart vmplayer and you should be good to go…
