Sorry for the delay...

Silly answer: use xorg. hildon-input-method makes those work in X.

Awesome progress! Especially after hearing of postmarket OS is somewhat stalled.

The day Maemo Leste will run somewhat well on Droid 4 will make very happy. I got it to try Sailfish with a keyboard, but the port is so far from usable I quit and put Android LineageOS on it.

How well Android runs? I could rant a long time. In short:
Battery runtime fluctuates between 5 and 40 hours in idle state.
Sometimes even keyboard input lags.
Spontaneous reboots,spontaneous loss of wifi functionality (but hotspot still works ...)

Your progress gives me hope for having great operating system, not limited by an ancient kernel, not by the 256MB ram of the N900 and not dependent on support for proprietary components.

Thank you for your admirable dedication and impressive work!

postmarketOS is not stalled in any way. It may even be moving slightly faster than Leste because it has a larger team of developers/hackers working on it. See https://blog.postmarketos.org

That said, Leste is my number 1 choice without a doubt.

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

I know that PostmarketOS has a larger team behind it, but especially the last blogpost on the site you linked invoked that idea:

This quote is followed by ideas to do that and by a list of devices where boot or hardware activation bugs were fixed. They use an N900 and made "a few usability improvement patches" which, if you click on the link, consist of changed wallpapers, twice, a shell replacement and improvements for running i3wm, which is not general user friendly in any way.

From my perspective it seems they are stuck in the playground and lost focus for their goals. If I got that wrong I am happy to be corrected.

The progress in Maemo Leste seems way more tangible and I applaud the small development team for that.

I've just watched the FOSDEM Lightning Talk video which is now online. Great job. Congrats!

Aargh. N900 can't open the media. How annoying. Why to put it in such form or does some player on N900 play it?

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

Try this one: https://video.fosdem.org/2019/H.2215...ste_mobile.mp4

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

Nope. That didn't work either. I have the default player. Should I use something else instead? What is a better player? Or is it possible to try still some other format?

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

Ok. Mplayer did it. I installed also smplayer for it to be easier for me. Thanks once more wizzup.

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

You can also use that option in ~/.mplayer/config file for performance:
and for fast play in the same file:
for more options, man mplayer in web search
