While we wait for The Rasterman to tell us Where and When we will find the 
package for the One Keyboard To Rule Them All ;-) , why not use the matchbox 
one like we did in 2007.2 just a few weeks ago ?

Here is a recipe, please let me know if it works for you:

1. Get the qwerty button with   opkg install illume-config

2. Hide the qtopia keyboard by manually adding the line
    export QTOPIA_NO_VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD=1
in the file   /etc/X11/Xsession.d/89qtopia

3. Install the matchbox keyboard with
opkg install matchbox-keyboard-applet
opkg install matchbox-keyboard-inputmethod

4. Restart X with  /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm restart

5. Launch the matchbox keyboard daemon by clicking on the "Keyboard" icon 

I did not install the package   matchbox-keyboard-im   , I don't know what it 
is for ?
