Right now, I do not see any change in behaviour with the latest busybox. But I would expect the xterminal to be adapted for that.

If we get a proper proper portrait virtual keyboard (looks like it is arriving), I would not mind that option. It should switch back to landscape if the keyboard is open.

Until I have seen more info about this, I can't really judge it.
Yes, I shouldn't say too much about it until I know how it will be, but just by hearing about it I really really can't see any valid point in introducing that.
One of the reasons to stick with the N900 is that the terminal is so GOOD with the phys. keyboard. Why would I then start typing on a virtual keyboard, that indeed would SHRINK like half of the screen in portrait mode (the whole thing is actually kind of laughable).
Ok, if it wouldn't rotate when the keyboard is out, I wouldn't mind that much (even if it makes no sense to rotate it even if the keyboard is in), but if it forces itself to install over the busybox-power it really irritates me even if I can reinstall busybox-power.

I just hope the CSSU team doesn't add things to the CSSU just because they can code them.
