I just had the annoying problem, that the AltGr key did not work in VMware Server on my 64bit system via SSH whereas it worked fine within the 32bit local system. xev, ‘cat /dev/input/event0’ & CO verified that not a single keystroke reached my client system within VMware. Solution? Add the following line to /etc/vmware/config:

xkeymap.usekeycodeMap = true
