I updated hildon-input-method-plugins branch with portrait-mode support http://gitorious.org/community-ssu/h...tation-support changes: read "PORTRAIT" layout entry from vkb file for portrait orientation (if vkb file does not include a "PORTRAIT" layout, fallback to default layout ("THUMB")) attachements: updated vkb-tools for gen/decode vkb file with portrait layout. en_US.vkb: layout file with portrait-mode layout. If you take a look at the example en_US.xml, you'll see how to define add PORTRAIT layout. hildon-im-fkb_3.9.66-1+0m5_armel.deb based on the portrait-orientation-support branch. edit: doesn't work as expected. please wait until the next update Missed the changes I made for vkbrenderer, you need this deb as well libhildon-im-vkbrenderer3_3.3.20-1+0m5_armel.deb With these files you are able to create your own portrait mode layout files.
