VMware Server Beta 2 Build 84186; *always* running so I can have both
Linux & Win desktops available. This never happened using the previous
(now expired/unusable) VMware beta; however, other software has been
updated since then so I can't isolate it to VMware.
Machine is left on most of the time (since suspend-to-disk doesn't work
- different bug *sigh*), error has only happened a few times. My system
does *not* become unstable. In the "real" machine, I lose Control,
Shift, Caps Lock, but they all work inside the WinXP VM. I found this
thread and did setxkbmap, which took care of the problem.
