Currently though, I am looking for feedback and criticism more than anything else.

Hi JavisPedro.

Do it via SSH, and by the way that should be run _outside the chroot_.

At the moment I'd prefer to debug and get feedback about xmim at the moment, not think about how you can do it wihout SSH and on your weird setup (why are you not using -fullscreen for example?).

The MeeGo keyboard works on LXDE ! Fantastic. More than worthwhile because there any many Debian softwares not available on MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan (office editors, vnc client, etc).

Code:
xwininfo: Window id: 0x4200002 "Xephyr on :1 ( ... )"
Here, 0x4200002 is the window id.

My suggestion is to use "wmctrl -l" instead of "xwininfo" because the later needs to tap the screen and if you have a terminal window the swipe counts as a tap. So using :

Code:

[root@chroot: ~]xephwm &
[root@chroot: ~]wmctrl -l

from inside Debian root opens the LXDE (with Xephyr server) and gives the window id of LXDE Xephyr.

xmimd -d :1 -x 0x4200002 -v
Replace 0x4200002 with the xephyr window id you got in the above step.

This command can be run as user on MeeGo terminal.

I hope these definitions can be made automatically.

My attempt to ease the Javispedro solution for MeeGo vkbd working on Easy Debian @ Nokia N9/N950. To install :

a) install the xmimd deb above in MeeGo;

b) copy the scripts xmimd.sh, xephwm-id.sh and suxephwm-id.sh to /home/user of you Nokia N9/N950;

c) as root on MeeGo, copy "xmimd.sh" to /usr/bin :
$ devel-su
# cd ~user
# chmod 755 xmimd.sh
# cp ~/xmimd.sh /usr/bin

d) inside Debian chroot (as root), copy xephwm-id.sh and suxephwm-id.sh to /usr/bin :
[root@chroot: /] cd ~
[root@chroot: /] chmod 755 xephwm-id.sh suxephwm-id.sh
[root@chroot: /] cp xephwm-id.sh suxephwm-id.sh /usr/bin

To run :

1) following my tests, the part :

export XMODIFIERS="@im=xmim"

needs to be done before opening Debian LXDE;

2) then inside Debian chroot (as root, i.e, after typing "debian") :
[root@chroot: /] xephwm-id.sh
or
[root@chroot: /] suxephwm-id.sh

3) in another terminal, this time a MeeGo terminal as user or root :
$ xmimd.sh

4) inside Debian LXDE, open any software and give focus in a text input to see the MeeGo virtual keyboard.

Explanation : xephwm-id.sh / suxephwm-id.sh runs xephwm / suxephwm and get the Xephyr window id saving it in /home/user/.xephyr-debian_id. Then xmimd.sh runs ximimd with the Xephyr window id from this file /home/user/.xephyr-debian_id.

qole & javispedro : where do you think it is better to place this 2 lines ? In the end (before the qchroot line) of "/bin/debian" ? In the .profile of the user ?

After the 2 exports above being put to run automatically (inside e.g. "/bin/debian"), I have created 2 "icons" : "Debian LXDE" and "Fix LXDE vkbd" (i.e., lxde.desktop and fix-lxde-vkbd.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications, as well the Maemo 5 Easy Debian icons in "~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps").

So to use Easy Debian with MeeGo vkbd it is very simple : open "Debian LXDE" first, then start "Fix LXDE vkbd". Now go back to LXDE and enjoy the MeeGo vkbd.

It seems to me we can do all of this in one script.

qole, what is the recommeded way of installing/copying files to the Easy Debian (mounted) image ?

I would like to create one or two scripts (or even .deb) to ease the installation of Easy Debian with Inception and Javispedro vkbd solution on Nokia N9/N950.

Thanks for the suggestion, yeah, it works. The lxde.desktop (using Inception) is simply :

Name=Debian LXDE
Exec=/bin/opensh -c "aegisctl -s; debian suxephwm-id.sh; xmimd.sh"
Icon=/home/user/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/deblet.png
Type=Application

Are you planning to release Easy Debian icons (.desktop files) with sudo for Easy Debian with open mode kernel ?
