virtualbox-ose: F key dead for all guests

[Pierre Frenkiel]

hi everybody,
I have the following (curious) problem with virtualbox:

package: virtualbox-ose: 1.5.6-dfsg-6ubuntu1
ubuntu release: 8.04.1

When I try to install any guest, (Windows XP as well as ubuntu), the "F"
key is dead. All other keys work correctly!

This happened for me on 2 hosts, both running ubuntu 8.04.1:
  - a Compaq Evo 800v laptop
  - a desktop

I tried a workaround mentioned in an other bug report: disabling the
"auto capture keyboard", but this did not fix my problem.

I did a bug report, but I'm curious to know wether anybody had a similar
problem, as that obviously makes virtualbox unusable.
