How to make Virtual keyboard and SCIM co-exist on N900

(1) Install MSCIM and whatever input methods you want
(2) Go to /etc/gtk-2.0/, create two files as follows

first file: vb (for Virtual Keyboard)

"/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/hildon-im-module.so"
"hildon-input-method" "Hildon Input Method" "hildon-input-method-framework" "/usr/share/locale" "*"

Second file: scim (for MSCIM)

"/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-scim.so"
"scim" "SCIM Input Method" "scim" "/usr/share/locale" "*"


(3) in the same directory, create another two files:

first file: vb.sh

cp /etc/gtk-2.0/vb /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules

second file: scim.sh

cp /etc/gtk-2.0/scim /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules

then chmod to these two files

>>root
>>chmod +x vb.sh scim.sh


(4) make two symbolic links in /usr/bin/

ln -s /etc/gtk-2.0/vb.sh /usr/bin/vb
ln -s /etc/gtk-2.0/scim.sh /usr/bin/scim

(5) if you want to use virtual keyboard, remember to retract the physical keyboard first, then type in

>>root
>>vb

if you want to use MSCIM:

>>root
>>scim
