VMware Install Help

[mcrowder]

When I install the VMware package the default keyboard layout is "DE", which makes it a bit tricky typing things on an English keyboard. How do you change it? I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf and changed the layout from "de" to "en" but there is no change?

If you are using the vmware dist, here is a helpfull tip.
(You guys may want to change your install howto to include this)
DONT DO THIS!!
su - openemm

Because it wont carry over you environment settings. i.e. it will not start correctly.

Do this..... sudo su - openemm

I tried the sudo trick and it didn't make a difference. I guess editing the x11 config file won't help since the vmware distro wasn't even running X.
