Yoper and vmware keyboard problem. help plz
Hi guys,
I try different distros in vmware before installing it on real systems. I downloaded latest yoper stable iso. When i booted from iso file, it boots up fine. but my keyboard doesnt work after booting the kernel. Keyboard is in perfect condition. I checked the md5sum of the iso. It is not corrupted. I dont have a clue what is causing this problem. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Doesn't work at all - or is in the wrong language?
Which version of Yoper is it? 2.2 pre-release testing version hasa very limited keyboard choice - but adding others is easy
I know a couple of people run Yoper in vmware, so I can ask them if you can supply as much info as possible.

2.1 should be ok. I will try to speak to one of the team who use vmware - see if they have any ideas.
So you get no keyboard at all in the vm? USB or ps/2 keyboard?

I have asked one of my contacts about this. Hopefully he may know the reason for the problem and suggest a cure

Hi,
I run Vmware 4.5.2 on Yoper 2.1
I've never had any troubles.
Which version of Vmware are you running, is it the new 5.0 ?
It is very odd indeed, I would have understood if it was a USB conflict
that can happen.
Check your keyboard model just in case.
and Check your XFree86 settings.
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
I know for example my own keyboard (very very cheap) has caused troubled in the past with KDE (not Gnome and Vmware).
Check which Kernel you are running.
I wrote a mini install Vmware manual using Kernel-2.6.7-5
http://www.yoper.com/forum2/index.php?showtopic=5274
So if you dont mind changing the kernel version it probably could be a fix.
Lastly, if you are entitled to support I would email them.
Often there are some really weird stuff that only they know how to fix
by reading off the logs and config files.

ah
I got yah ...
You mean Yoper doesn't run *inside* Vmware right?
That can happen with other distros.
Gentoo for example (they probably fixed this) wouldn't load on Vmware either.
It makes sense.
Yoper is i686 optimized for speed.
Vmware is purely virtual machine, not a physical motherboard
If Yoper stops working somehow under the virtualization,
that wouldn't surprise me.
Sorry I didn't read your post properly but came directly from a message from the Yoper team.
