Package: xfree86-common
Version: 4.3.0
I am trying to run a system without keyboard and mouse but instead with
on-screen keyboard and a pen/tablet. The system cannot boot-up in X. Pls
read the relevant files attached. The absence of a keyboard is the problem.
With LCD monitor size getting bigger, dipslay space is not an issue. It
makes sense to use on-screen keyboard. It is highly customisable and the
input set is limitless. It would be a progressive step to allow Debian
to run X window without a keyboard.
Would appreciate suggestions to make this a reality.
Thks.

Adding an InputDevice section like
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Fake Keyboard"
Driver "void"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
and adding the following line to the ServerLayout section:
> Section "ServerLayout"
> Identifier "Default Layout"
> Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Fake Keyboard"
> InputDevice "tablet" "AlwaysCore"=20
> EndSection
should work.
Closing this bug as a configuration issue.
