The reason is that on the Spain Keyboard, ALT-GR is located physicaly on the U.S. ALT-RIGHT key (which corresponds to vmware v-scancode 0x138).<br /><br />So the solution for Spain Keyboard is to add following line con Vmware configuration:<br /><br />xkeymap.keycode.113 = 0x138 #Right Alt<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695352467604484711.post-47427334530370473732012-07-02T20:51:54.429+09:302012-07-02T20:51:54.429+09:30VMWare Workstation 8.0.3

The other keys works perfectly. <br /><br />I added "xkeymap.keycode.233 = 0xffd1" in ~/.vmware/preference. It didn't work.
