Not to sound like a broken record, but it is no trouble to get a terminal working. The real problem is getting it to work with the Nokia virtual keyboard. Unless the app used gtk you will not get input. So that leaves a lot of terms out right there. You *used* to be able to use xkbd but with OS2008, that is out of the question. Again, this is a maemo design decision. I do understand the reasoning but I really don't like the result.

I can put xkbd right next to hildon input method and it is by far a superior layout (which you can change by editing a text file). I would be happy if nokia's virtual keyboard was so easily manipulated (maybe it is, I couldn't find anything).

I really like my N800, but I find some of the design decisions so frustrating. What gets to me is how much *could* be done but I feel so locked out.
