Thanks for responding but I dont think that is the problem although I
obviously can't rule it out.
Perhaps the following information is better provided as follows:
Host Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (32 bit)
Guest Operating System: CentOS 5.4 (32 bit)
VMWare Server 2.0.2-203138 installed using the only windows installer on
the VMware website which is described as follows:
VMware Server 2 for Windows Operating Systems. A master installer file
containing all Windows components of VMware Server.
Whether or not the software is actually compatible with windows 7 at
this stage I'm having trouble ascertaining from VMWare's site.
The precise error messages are as follows:
atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2 code 0xd9 on isa0060/serio0)
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e059 <keycode>' to make it known.
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xd9 on
isa0060/serio0)
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e059 <keycode> to make it known.
I do see other codes in place of e059 (it's a keyboard scancode?) and in
place of the 0xd9....The errors themselves dont appear to correspond
with the pressing or releasing of any particular keys. The errors also
seem to happen at different rates...on occassions they will vmware
console screen which make it difficult to do anything. At other times
just one error message is produced.
Perhaps the best information that I have come across to date in relation
ot the problem is the following:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=141505
Interestingly enough yes I am using a Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite
Keyboard and Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 on this system.
It also seems that the problem effects different distro's:
Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/70317
I guess the first thing to do at this point is to plug in some older
wired mouse and keyboard and see if the problem persists. If it's this
problem it's certainly a long lasting one since it appears to go back to
at least the end of 2004 (almost 6 yrs ago?).
