When i tried to use the easy install i got the same problem that all of you are describing with the keyboard...  
(OSX 10.6.3/VMWARE Fusion 3.02) to get it to work.. 

I changed the Install method by unchecking the easy install method, l
and used the live cd to test to see what would happen, when I ran the
Live CD the Keyboard worked.

So i Did the install from the the Live CD instead of the vmware fusion
scrip and the install worked. This means that there is something wrong
with the VMWARE Script and Ubuntu 10.04 (32Bit). For whatever reason the
keyboard autodetect parameter does not pass of perhaps the parameter
name has changed and is not  recognized during the process.

a vmware update script should should fix this problem, untill then dont
use the easy install method.
