I'm a new user of KDE, I used the .deb file from Penguinbait. for the first week I found it funny using the screen keyboard (n800) and the stylus to go my way through kde. it's a bit slower but more functionnal than Maemo.

then I remember I made a USB-on-the-go adapter a couple month ago...


I hooked the Targus rubber keyboard then started KDE...


Here we go, I now have a full computer in our pocket. the keyboard unleashed the full power of KDE making it similar to a eee or any other mini-laptop but pocket sized with detachable-optional keyboard. All the Functions keys work as they should enabling a more desktop similar experience.

I was whining about getting a faster windows manager than KDE (Like JWM, E17 or as my last choice Xfce) but using a full keyboard made KDE a lot more functionnal and made me forget about the slower windows management. I still hope Penguinbait will release a better version of his XFCE or other lighter wm BUT I sent him a well deserved donation for his efforts on KDE.

Thank you Penguinbait !

Final word: people with n800s should realy get a USB-otg adapter and try a keyboard (or bluetooth KB)

just wonder: without external keyboard, how to evoke right button menu? I am talking using an N800.

there's a way to remap a hardware key or make a shortcut in this thread http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15282
