X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.14 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2013 17:06:51 -0000 Hi, I'm running Windows 7 under VirtualBox 4.2.6_OSE, and it seems the ALT key doesn't work. I need to use Photoshop, and there are a few operations that require a combination of holding down the ALT key and using a left-mouse-button click. I've googled and found reports on Linux from 2011 of this problem, but none of the solutions I've tried have fixed the problem. I'm using Gnome as my window manager, if that has any bearing on the issue. Anybody here found a solution, or have an idea? Thanks very much for any help. Scott -- sdb@ssr.com
