incorrect keyboard mapping in OSX 10.7 guest

[ssbsfnt]

Hi,

I just got Fusion 6, as I have a project that does not build with latest Xcode.

So I set up a VM with OS X 10.7.5 to continue building my project and apply fixes to it.

The problem is, that I have a (single) german extended keyboard connected, but in the guest it is shown as "small" keyboard without a key left to "y" (or "z" on US keyboards).

On top of this "keyboard layout" is showing special characters like []|{} (<alt> + 5 to 9) correctly, but when typing those, other characters are used.

I tried a bit with the keyboard settings, but none solved my problems.

Any hint how to fix this? It is really hard to write C-Sources without those characters 😞

Regards and Thx in advance,

SSB

I would like to join this thread. I have a similar issue here, but the other way around.

OSX guest system sees the keyboard as a full sized keyboard, but in fact I have a small one, the one from the MBP.
