Do you happed to have busybox-power [1] installed? I don't. Edit3: I installed busybox-power but that doesn't change anything.
This is my options menu, just in case that makes a difference:

Code:

   Calc/Show bytes freed on erase         YES

My vfu.conf is unchanged except for replacing joe with nano as the default editor.

Edit:
When I log into my N900 via ssh both <Enter> and <Return> on my laptop's keyboard work as expected in vfu. It's really only the N900 <Enter> that doesn't work. And even that works fine in vfu started in Easy Debian.

Edit2:
It seems like the problem lies not in vfu itself or its dependencies. I logged into another computer via ssh from my N900 which has vfu installed and there the N900 <Enter> doesn't work either. So it must have something to do with my Maemo/hildon/busybox/locale/whatever...
