I suspect we'll need to re-invent the wheel, maybe we can grab the MeeGo VKB and use it for Easy Debian...

We won't know until we're able to start experimenting, but the N9 supposedly has a working USB OTG, and BT, so we can theoretically get external keyboards working. Remembering how much they stripped out of the N900, we might have a lot of hacking to do first.
In other words we might need something like a QT-powered Xephyr. Maybe we can ask Nokians and testers who already have the N9 to install Xephyr and launch some simple X program (Xev?) to see if kb events get passed...

In any casr, nothing seems to infer that the N9 has USB OTG (or host). At least on published specs as today. So, maybe only BT.
