Workarounds

Keyboard

If you have issues with the default keyboard you should give this one a try: To install it just:

  zypper ar -G http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/wonko:/branches:/Project:/KDE:/Trunk:/Testing/CE_UX_PlasmaActive_armv7hl/home:wonko:branches:Project:KDE:Trunk:Testing.repo
  zypper up maliit-active libmaliit-quick
  killall -9 maliit-server

Nemo Mobile

Most things should work but virtual keyboard doesn't, which renders everything unusable. The screen shows just black when the keyboard is visible. The same symptom is seen also in Virtual Machines and was fixed by workarounding something in Mesa (which is of course not used on Tegra).

See Community_Workspace/Tegra3/Nexus7/EGL_NOK_issues for details.
