My gutfeeling was that this should be doable. The native keyboard is Maliit, which is the same that's used in the Jolla and in the (dormant?/defunct?) kubuntu-active, and traces back to the linux-on-mobile granddaddies maemo/meego/harmattan. If I understand it right, then this keyboard isn't very closely tied into the inner core of mir/unity. So, I would assume that this keyboard should have no problem working together with X applications (or wayland) if we only turn the right knob...


However, I have been banging my head against this for a while without any measurable success.

Does anyone here have a lead on this?
