Hey all,
I just installed the ASU daily build from buildhost yesterday (23 Jul),
and there doesn't seem to be an on-screen keyboard.
I've been doing a lot of searching around to find out what's up with
the keyboard. I know that it was added as a 'qwerty' button, and then
removed because the devs want it to automatically appear when there's
text to enter and automatically disappear appropriately. I'd
personally prefer the manual mode, but I can understand why someone
would want this done automatically.
Problem for me is that the keyboard never automatically pops up. I
know this isn't an isolated incident, as this bug report exists:
http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1663
Of course there's a mention of using some ASU image from
downloads.openmoko.org instead of buildhost.openmoko.org, but I can't
find anything ASU-related after sometime in May on the downloads site.
I had the same issue, the problem is that buildhost isn't building ASU
packages from the ASU dev git tree (I'd guess because it's mostly aimed
at people running 2007.02). What you need to do is change your opkg
feeds to use http://downloads.openmoko.org/openmoko-repository/ASU/
which has all the new packages (including an updated version of qpe with
keyboard support enabled). You can download the correct config files from:
http://www.mikeasoft.com/~mike/opkg-asu.tar.gz
Just move /etc/opkg to /etc/opkg-backup then unpack that to /etc,
then: opkg update opkg upgrade /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm restart
The keyboard should now pop up automatically when text areas request it.
I tried editing the
file /usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes/illume.edj and setting
'visible: 1' under the 'part { name: kbdtext' section, but that
caused the whole UI to be useless (looks like this file is some sort of
compiled binary, I couldn't find any information on it.)
So, in short: what is up with the keyboard?
You can grab an illume theme with the qwerty button restored from:
http://www.mikeasoft.com/~mike/illume.edj
Just drop that in to /usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes/ (note that
you'll need to overwrite it again each time illume-theme is updated though).
Cheers,
Mike.

In short I have come to understand that the decision was made to go with the
Qtopia keyboard over the Illume keyboard, but the Qtopia keyboard needs a
layer to auto-request it such as matchbox or multitap (which is not
installed by default) and with no manual button there is no easy way to
access it. That is how I have come to understand it, please correct me if I
am wrong here.

Qtopia has a built in keyboard, but because you're using an old
version of qpe (see my previous mail on this topic) it's not enabled. If
you wished you could install the matchbox-keyboard or multitap instead
of using the qpe keyboard and these will pop-up when applications
request them.

Mike.

Thank you,
it works fine, but how can I switch to the full keyboard which has not only
the letters? Do I need an additional package?
