Having just got a Think Outside Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard (which works well with the rest of the system), I've just checked generic X applications (such as the Citrix client)... they still don't work.
Obviously the Bluetooth keyboard is still being handled at too high a level. kbdd, being a kernel-level driver, may well be the best option eventually.
I found possibly a way to pass the login screen without a keyboard. Once I a see the desktop, I should be able to use the software keyboard in Windows, as long as point and click works. See previous posting. I'll receive my 770 tomorrow so I should be able to test this very soon .
There's perl module called X11::GUITest. It can be used for testing X11 applications by sending keyboard events. I was wondering, would it be possible to build an hildon application that activate the virtual keyboard and send the keys to (for example) the citrix client?
The perl module is relying on the X library. It shouldn't be hard to extract the function calls from there. (So we don't need to install perl)
Hello Aflegg
I wanted to try to install the citrix client, I got all the packages but they fail to install and I don't know how to get the tar.gz file to install. Could you give me some leads on how to do this?

Firstly, to install the debs from standard Debian/ARM, use - as root - the command:
Code:
dpkg -x <somefile>.deb /
Then, to install the tarball, unpack it (I can't remember if the busybox tar complains of "Invalid magic", if so do it on a different box & recompress):
Code:
tar xzf tarball.tar.gz
You then need to get an ARM linux version of 'cpio', and fix a parse error in the 'setup' shell script.
Once done, run the 'setup' shell script (as root) and install ICAClient to /usr/lib/ICAClient.
I have a friend who would likely buy an N810 or N800 if it could work with his Citrix Metaframe connection to his work network. I know nothing about this stuff (Im supposing itś Citrix Metaftrame because thatś what it says in the address bar when he signs in) and he is totally non-tech savvy. Heś´interested because he travels a lot and the NIT sure weighs less than his laptop. Is there a deb for this ? Is rDesktop relevant? Maybe the NIT is the wrong item for him? (I have developed some facility and I would help him setting up, but after that he would be on his own.)
So ... anyone know how to get the NIT working with Citrix Metaframe or have any other thoughts? TIA
I humbly disagree. I upgraded N800 to 2.2007.50-2 during Xmas and has been using rdesktop 0.4 since. It is much more responsive and snappier than the 2007Os. I have it connect to a winXP Prof, and then log into my company via citrix on the winXP Prof. On the 2007, it is always a drag, it works, but not smooth. It is eye blinking with the 2008. Why do I go thru rdesktop to citrix? That is the ONLY way!. There aint no citrix driver for the tablet. I talked to citrix, they are NOT interested.
Back to the rdesktop. When the winPC goes into screensaver, sometimes, not all the time, the tablet will NOT be able to wake up the PC. Problem solved screensaver on PC was turned off. After that, I have not run into even once, that the rdesktop is having problem
