The same problem with xorg-x11-server-1.7.3-1.fc12 Does it work without the nvidia binary driver? ajax, reassigning to you, changes between 1.7.1-7 and 1.7.1-12 are your metier With vesa driver and xorg-x11-server-1.7.3 vmware have the same problems as with nvidia driver. With xorg-x11-server-1.7.1-7.fc12.2.rex no problems in vmware both with vesa and nvidia drivers. The problem still is in xorg-x11-server-1.7.4-1.fc12 At first this problem appears in xorg-x11-server-1.7.1-10.fc12 where --with-vendor-name="Fedora Project" was added. I rebuild xorg-x11-server-1.7.4-1.fc12 without --with-vendor-name="Fedora Project" http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1909516 Now vmware can detect xorg server. The problem still persist with latest updates to Fedora 12 but there is a workaround against this problem. Add the following line to ~/.vmware/preferences xinfo.forceXFree86 = "TRUE" This overrides vmware detection of xorg and keys work as expected. I have tested this with vmware server 1.0.8 and 1.0.10 and according to the docs, this should work with other vmware products as well. Just to make it clear -- full screen works as well when setting xinfo.forceXFree86 = "TRUE" (In reply to comment #9) > Just to make it clear -- full screen works as well when setting > xinfo.forceXFree86 = "TRUE" I confirm that fullscreen mode with this settig works for me too. This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
