It would be perfect if I could drag and move it in hildon desktop! Some one already hacked moveable dialog (used in easy debian)

I got the menu item in extras but must have missed something basic.
/home/user # xvkbd
/bin/sh: xvkbd: not found

I was missing the two packages;
apt-get install libxpm4
apt-get install libxmu6
To get these, I needed to change the maemo extras distribution from diablo to chinook. [Note: Don't install any updates, and don't forget to reset it to diablo.]

You can avoid the issue with the popup onscreen keyboard by disabling it in control panel - text input settings.

Note: could you summarize the steps in the first thread? The deb link in the above reply is dead.

With the bits and pieces you sent me I am able to compile xvkbd (v2.8 thru v3.0) both under Chinook and Diablo scratchboxes.

However, I seem to have some tidbit missing... my compiled versions, even the compiled version that you sent me, when launched open a full size hildon window and pop up an icon on the taskbar.

The old version of the binary that I have been using -- which came from Arnim's archive at pupnik.de and dated April 2, 2008 -- in contrast opens as a small window always on top of whatever I am running... and do not pop up an icon on the task bar.

Any suggestions as to what configuration tidbit I may be missing?

I'm trying to install xvkbd but the links quoted below don't work for me. Is there another way that I can install this easily?

[QUOTE=KotCzarny;163784]ok, i have managed to hack xvkbd enough to be usefull, enjoy and comment!

installation:
wget -O/usr/local/bin/xvkbd.gz http://mrrau.dyndns.org:23280/n800/xvkbd/xvkbd.gz
gzip -d /usr/local/bin/xvkbd.gz
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/xvkbd
wget -O/usr/share/applications/hildon/xvkbd.desktop http://mrrau.dyndns.org:23280/n800/xvkbd/xvkbd.desktop
