Exact same problem on Fedora 9. Definitely not something to do with a particular distro - now seen across different Linux distributions.
setxkbmap fixes it for me. Here's other details: $ uname -s -r -v -m -p -i -o Linux 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 13 05:38:53 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ rpm -q --all | grep -i vmware xorg-x11-drv-vmware-10.16.0-1.fc9.i386 VMware-server-1.0.5-80187.i386 -- Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
