So all of a sudden this morning my virtual keyboard stopped working. I have installed a few apps from extras-testing and extras-devel and know the risks however the strange thing was that the virtual keyboard was working last night even after i installed a few apps which were: vagalume, pianobar, pypiano, firefox, wifi switcher, simplenotewidget.

the virtual keyboard was working fine. device was charging overnight and just wouldn't work this morning. I tried restarting and resetting the virtual keyboard along with uninstalling app after app and still no luck.

I have read through the reflashing wiki and am comforting going through it but would like to see if there is another way to get it working and/or test it. Problem is all my computers are running vista and from what i have read the reflasher only works on XP (at least without some more hackery). So that means i have to borrow someone else's laptop etc etc

Any help or am i out of luck?

Thanks

as an update, the secondary virtual keyboard works (fn + crl) but still no normal virtual keyboard.

thanks
