Keyboard capture of alt-tab not working in fullscreen mode

Post by sshorter »

Hi all,

My host is ubuntu 7.10 and my guest is xubuntu 7.10. I have guest additions installed, and yesterday I ran 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' on the guest so that I could get higher resolution than 1024x800. Since then I've had a few problems, most of which are resolved, but one remains.

In full-screen mode, alt-tab keystrokes get captured by the host machine instead of the guest. When I'm in windowed mode, alt-tab works correctly, switching between applications in the guest OS.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance...

Bump. Has anyone encountered this problem before, and/or resolved it?

Yep same here. Ubuntu host, Windows XP client. ALT+TAB is captured by Ubuntu
