Fixing keyboard in VMware for Linux
One problem I have with VMware Workstation is if I'm running a Linux virtual machine in VMware that sometime the your keyboard will repeat keystrokes.
To fix this problem, you need to edit the VMware Virtual machine vmx file, and add the following:
keyboard.typematicMinDelay = "2000000"
This fix should work with VMware Workstation for Linux or Windows and Vmware ESX Server.

I actually experienced that on a (Connectix/Microsoft) Virtual PC with a Windows host and a FreeBSD guest. I wonder what could be the fix there (other than me turning off the keyrepeat altogether in KDE)

I find that it happens to be natively sometimes in Feisty. It’s rare, and I haven’t been able to consistently reproduce it but maybe its a bug lower than VMWare?
