i am running debian 'testing' on a desktop. i would like to be able to
operate the system without a hardware keyboard but instead use a mouse
and on-screen keyboard. i started with removing the section on 'keyboard
input device' from XF86Config-4 but lost the gui on boot-up.
i am sure a system can run without hw keyboard, as in a server.
would appreciate some help on this.

my machine boot-up hangs when i unplug the keybooard.
you had better do an install from 'scrap': choose yourself install some
basic packages and *not* xserver-xfree86 [and x-window-system??] to get
rid of your mouse,
cheers,

.........and-sorry- this will get rid of the graphics too of course.
