Maliit - Input Methods for MeeGo
Overview · Development · Installing · Roadmap

Meego Input Methods comes preinstalled on:

• Meego Handset UX 1.1 and later
• Meego Tablet UX 1.2 and later

Meego Netbook UX

These steps have been tested on Meego 1.1.

• Enable the 'handset' repository. For example:

$ sudo zypper addrepo http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.1/handset/repos/ia32/packages/ handset
$ sudo zypper refresh

• Install these packages:
  • meegotouch-inputmethodbridges
  • meegotouch-inputmethodkeyboard

sudo zypper install meegotouch-inputmethodkeyboard meegotouch-inputmethodbridges 

• Modify /etc/xdg/autostart/meego-im-uiserver.desktop to look like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/meego-im-uiserver -target slate -bypass-wm-hint
X-Moblin-Priority=High
OnlyShowIn=X-MEEGO-HS;X-MEEGO-NB

This will work with 1024x600 resolution. Replace 'slate' with other code if you have different resolution. See /etc/meegotouch/devices.conf for different codes.

• Add this line to ~/.bashrc (any better place in X configs? /etc/X11/xinitrc-common failed for me) to activate the inputmethod plugin for Qt-based programs:

export QT_IM_MODULE=MInputContext

• Relogin (or reboot) to desktop
