I3 WM inside vmware

Hi everybody,

I hope this is the right spot for this topic.

As the title says, i'm trying to get an I3 environment up and running inside a vmware virtual machine. Everything works perfectly, except that after the window manager loads I can't interact with him in any way, mouse or keyboard, like they're not grabbed from vmware (I also tried their ctrl+G shortcut, withour results).

Other wm, on the same machine, works perfectly (Awesome, Enlightenment), so I don't think this can be driver related.

Someone has clues?

Re: I3 WM inside vmware

Please give us some details. We don't know what you are doing, how you run i3 and what else you did with that machine.
