Linux VMware 8 swedish keyboard

After loads of problems with VMware 8.0.3 installation on Fedora 16(with patch vmware802fixlinux320.tar.gz 'changed the version number in the script' ) i noticed that all the keys did not work. Im using swe keys in Fedora 16.
After a bit of research and Keyboard mapping i managed to get it right.
edit following config file. save it( esc :wq) restart VMware and it hopefully will work for you to.

vi ~/.vmware/config


xkeymap.noKeycodeMap = "TRUE"
xkeymap.keycode.20 = 0x00c #SWE +?\
xkeymap.keycode.21 = 0x00d #SWE '`
xkeymap.keycode.61 = 0x035 #SWE -_
xkeymap.keycode.49 = 0x029 #SWE §½
xkeymap.keycode.34 = 0x01a #SWE Å
xkeymap.keycode.35 = 0x01b #SWE ~^"
xkeymap.keycode.47 = 0x027 #SWE ö
xkeymap.keycode.48 = 0x028 #SWE ä
xkeymap.keycode.51 = 0x02b #SWE '*
