[MeeGo-touch-dev] Any way t o force virtual keyboard to be used?

[danny]

Hi,

In meego-handset-sdk, I use the following to see the VKB.

not run startmeego
1)  # meego-im-uiserver &
2)  # sms  
  or# meego-handset-people
  or# ...

After set the compositing-manager to true for metacity  or change to compiz, I could see the VKB normally.

Hope useful for you.
