I managed to get the Keyboard working within XBMC.

You need to run XBMC as superuser so either login as SU or run "sudo xbmc" .

I'm not sure why this works but points to some permissioning issues for XBMC to access keyboard.

Diaoul thanks for info :) atharvai: I have tested keyboard and I have same problem as you :( If I press numbers 0,1,2,...9 (before pressing enter; one step before) I get letters. Like mobile phone where you press numbers and get letters. Strange. Maybe there is some setting in XBMC to fix this prob...

Thanks for this XBMC package. it is great and easy to install. :) I have a question regarding use of keyboard. It appears that if there is a text field i cannot use my keyboard to type. eg. when searching network share or typing in IP address or searching in Youtube. I am unable to type using Keyboa...
