sorry about that. i actually don't know how i fixed it when it was 1.1. i just restart the phone and even sometimes remove the battery and it'll return to normal.

i tried the same thing in 1.3 but no avail. is there something i can use to check the virtual keyboard in the x-term or even tweak it there?

it's enabled it the text input so it's supposed to pop out but it doesn't...
