okay - 1) it has no strace. Make one.

2) No X11. not right now... but we have been working on 1 for the 3...

No upstart, no waf, - inconsequential

3) It does not open the keyboard with lipc-set-prop , REALLY? hmmm. now that surprises me. perhaps a direct invocation. I really wish I could help test but sadly that's not possible.

"I found that in start.sh it says extkeyboard=false. Setting that to true lets me use the arrows, home, ctrl and maybe a few more to move around. But not type!"

Now that doesn't surprise me. On the 5 when one uses VNC to type...in fact i'll take a picture one sec... As you can see a MODIFIER character appears - EVEN if you don't press a modifier key - The funny Right Angle is for SHIFT. the ugly T is for unmodified...

Pressing the keys directly doesn't do this.

Perhaps the overall value from the keys needs amending / truncating. (It could be an artefact of the vnc of course)

Hope that helps.

I tried building midori last few days but got stuck on gtk not building with the old TC properly. I fixed it but it still wont play nice. Hope you have more luck. Skipstone seems a good option having used it.
