Ehi Addison, great work!
I'm sorry I haven't updated you for a while, I had a bad Christmas present when my 2 year young battery decided to die on me, and it's been just 4 days since my replacement arrived... d'oh!
I fiddled with your files (btw /media/mmc2 is internal card for me, /media/mmc1 is the external SD slot on N800) and noticed that you are using an older libxpm4, but the libxpm4_3.5.6-2osso1_armel.deb works perfectly too: is there a particular reason you chose the older one?
I tried xkbd 0.8.16 too, works fine, but on GVM the keyboard doesn't take up the full width of the screen, there's some space left blank on the left side that corresponds exactly to the size of the maemo menu while screen is rotated...
Now I just have to check your keyboards in dosbox...
Thanks again dude
