I tried installing ukeyboard also in case it restored something in place (some guys in another thread who lost their vkb said it came back after installing ukeyboard - it was a different situation, they had NO vkb whatsoever while I have an empty one, but anyway I had to try it - )
I know I can back up and reflash, but it has driven me crazy and I want to figure it out...
As for the hildon-im-plugins.cache it builds itself again when I do a recache with always the same sum (i tried deleting it completely) but still no-go.

What about your language setting(s)? Can you post a picture of what an empty vkb looks like.

sorry about the bad quality, cant take screenshot (when I open the keyboard the vkb disappears)

I changed from greek to english in the language settings, I also changed to german to see if anything else happened.

I've seen blank keyboards, but yours is the first empty one. I think it's time to install sysklogd. It's in extras. Maybe it will tell you about an object file that couldn't be loaded or found. Also in extras, I recommend load-applet. You could then take screenshots with the keyboard closed.

I'm like you, I like to know how stuff works and it's fun figuring it out, but I don't use the hardware keyboard for entering text. So, even though I'll spend three days on something that would have taken others 60 minutes, this is one instance where I probably would have reflashed within the first three hours. There's no way I could have gone as long as you have without a vkb.

I am writing this from my brand-new PR1.0 virtual keyboard! Many many thanks!

I reflashed, did the same thing again and voila!

considering that any N900 owner can get the fiasco images, wouldn't be useful if I made a script which will run on the N900, unpack the fiasco image, make backups, and then copy the right files where they should be.
Is this ever possible?

the problem is I have to learn scripting...

Sure, this is very possible. Pseudo code the steps you want to take, then fill them in with real code. Piece of cake!

Scripting is your friend, and then are many examples already on your device. Here's a man page.

I was reading the thread all over, and I wonder what was sucking about scrolling that made you prefer the pr1.1 monitor.

It might have just been a placebo affect of the upgrade. I can't remember.
