Aha, so it's the desktop file used to start mc which does not work.

I use the command "osso-xterm -e mc" to start mc in a new terminal window.

If you tell me the command which works in gregale, I'll redo the package with the right command.

mc.desktop can be found in /usr/share/applications/hildon/. You can try to edit the Exec= line to make it work.

The problem with the joystick is common for N770 and N800. I think the terminal can be patched to not show the keyboard when you tap the Enter key, but so far I'm occupied by other things.
