Sorry guys forgot to check back. Alternatively, (how I did it) you can ssh into the phone from a computer either under root, or sudo gainroot after ssh-ing as a regular user. Of course this requires installing ssh (open-ssh?), and a wlan connection.
So glad the n900 has a shell and ssh.

Hi there,
as i did not had any scim files in my packages, and i totally forgot the last app i installed, and i did not wanted to reset to factory.
I tried some dumb test
1- disable virtual keyboard, reboot, enable: KO
2- disable virt keyboard, reboot, enable, reboot: KO
3- disable, reboot, set physical kbd in other language (or switch azerty to qwerty), reboot, revert back to natural physical keyboard, OK !!!!
... and then revert virtual keyboard in native language.
It was late night, nothing to loose but sleeping time, and i worked.
I hope i could help some before reseting to factory.

What did finally restore the functions was using dpkg to purge the mscim and scim configuration files. The configuration files remain even after you remove applications using the application manager. To see if you still have them, open a terminal and type
If the start of each returned entry has the letters rc, it means that configuration files still exist (if there are the letters ii, it means the applications are still installed, you should remove them first using the app manager, apt-get or dpkg)Code:dpkg -l | grep -i scim
If you have these configuration files,
replacing x with scim or mscim or whatever (I purged libscim8c2a as well just to be thorough, even though just purgin mscim and scim solved the problem).Code:dpkg --purge x
Reboot, and hopefully your virtual keyboard etc are restored.
Hello,
that command was the only fix that worked here. Type "sudo" before it if getting a message about super user privileges or so.
Thank you.

Download this file onto your N900:
http://chris.intrepid.cx/N900/fixkbd.sh
save it into the documents folder
In an X term run this:
sudo gainroot
sh MyDocs/.documents/fixkbd.sh
Sudo gainroot might fail if you don't have rootsh installed.
Tried other stuff from this thread but I think this was the solver.
Thanks!
