VMWare on Ubuntu 8.10

VMWare server wasn't passing CTRL-ALT-DEL to windows clients since I upgraded Ubuntu to 8.10. (I was able to log in to my RedHat 5 client, so I could tell that the basic keyboard handling was not broken.)

I checked for vmware update and upgraded to VMWare Server 2.0.1, but that did not fix the problem.

Googling the ubuntu forums, I found a note that "The solution is to add "xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true" to ~/.vmware/config or to /etc/vmware/config".

Once I made the change and restarted VMWare (the restart may not have been necessary) I was able to get into my Windows clients.
