Key mapping for VMware under Ubuntu 8.10

Recently I have been playing Ubuntu 8.10 and found out a problem.
When I installed a windows under VMware in Ubuntu, the key mapping was wrong.
It will not let me use arrow, insert, delete, backspaces, etc.

I have found out a solution.

1. Go to Terminal
2. Type gedit ~/.vmware/config
3. In the config file, type "xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true" without the quotes.

Restard VMware and it would be fixed.
