I don't know if meego will bring some kind of virtual keyboard. I am hoping the 1.1 release will come with a handheld version that offers a virtual keyboard. Right now I am just booting and working via SSH, using the USB for connection. But touchscreen is working already.

I tried using that snapshot first, but I couldn't apply the patch... There is probably a way do download that, and then fix it so the git command will work. But in the end what worked for me was that: cloned the git repo, then checked out that version.
