Bug#256066: xdm no longer recognizes xvkbd
Package: xdm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5
Severity: normal
In the past I used xvkbd, a virtual keyboard, to login in on a tablet
computer. (By adding "/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd &" to /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup).
That was with Xfree86 3.3.
I've upgraded to 4.3, and while xvkbd still starts up when xdm starts,
xdm no longer recognizes the keystrokes any longer. I skimmed the
changelog, but didn't see what might explain this, or how I could fix
it.
