+To regain your keyboard in Vmware Workstation 6.5 installed on Intrepid Ibex do the following.
+Create the file ~/.vmware/config with the content:
+<file>
+xkeymap.keycode.108 = 0x138 # Alt_R
+xkeymap.keycode.106 = 0x135 # KP_Divide
+xkeymap.keycode.104 = 0x11c # KP_Enter
+xkeymap.keycode.111 = 0x148 # Up
+xkeymap.keycode.116 = 0x150 # Down
+xkeymap.keycode.113 = 0x14b # Left
+xkeymap.keycode.114 = 0x14d # Right
+xkeymap.keycode.105 = 0x11d # Control_R
+xkeymap.keycode.118 = 0x152 # Insert
+xkeymap.keycode.119 = 0x153 # Delete
+xkeymap.keycode.110 = 0x147 # Home
+xkeymap.keycode.115 = 0x14f # End
+xkeymap.keycode.112 = 0x149 # Prior
+xkeymap.keycode.117 = 0x151 # Next
+xkeymap.keycode.78 = 0x46 # Scroll_Lock
+xkeymap.keycode.127 = 0x100 # Pause
+xkeymap.keycode.133 = 0x15b # Meta_L
+xkeymap.keycode.134 = 0x15c # Meta_R
+xkeymap.keycode.135 = 0x15d # Menu
+</file>
+Remember to restart Vmware before it take effect.
+And ét voila your keyboard is back online
+If your keyboard has a different layout this might help you out:
+What if your keycodes are different? To get the keycodes, you'll need xev. Run xev and place your cursor in the xev window. Then press the key you want (eg, right Control).
+You'll get output like this on the terminal:
+<code>
+KeyPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
+root 0x1cb, subw 0x0, time 749698, (167,181), root:(1793,706),
+state 0x10, keycode 105 (keysym 0xffe4, Control_R), same_screen YES,
+XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
+XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
+XFilterEvent returns: False
+KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
+root 0x1cb, subw 0x0, time 749810, (167,181), root:(1793,706),
+state 0x14, keycode 105 (keysym 0xffe4, Control_R), same_screen YES,
+XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
+XFilterEvent returns: False
+</code>
+Look at the value after keycode. In this case 105. Change the xkeymap.keycode. to 105:
+xkeymap.keycode.105 = 0x11d # Control_R
+x11d is the scan code.
