[maemo-users] X Server Keyboard not working

[From: Mustali Dalal]

I hadn't X forwarded from the N900 since getting it but after reading your
email, I tried it and I can say that keyboard input works fine (
http://bit.ly/7GBbME) - at least for OpenOffice.org. Hopefully someone here
may be able to help you determine what the problem may be.
