Details? bug #?
Sorry, I put this in External bugs. kde bug tracking system: bug number 164210. Here is what I wrote: I have recently installed Fedora 9 on a Fujitsu ST5110 tablet PC. (This was a fresh install on a machine that was previously running Fedora 7). Fedora 9 includes KDE 4.(I have tried both version 4.0.1 and 4.0.5) There is a problem with KDM and its greeter. I have edited /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 to launch xvkbd (virtual keyboard) so that I have a keyboard to enter username and password into the greeter login box. (This is what I did in Fedora 7 and KDE3 and this worked perfectly). However, on KDE4 the greeter login box comes to the foreground and my keyboard is hidden. If I launch xvkbd with the option "always-on-top" I can now see the keyboard but I can't press any buttons with the pen/mouse. I can only login using external usb keyboard. Once I have logged in, I can use xvkbd normally - it is just during the greeter login that it won't work. I have tried running kdm without themes and backgrounds, but this made no difference. Also reported to this site for Fedora 9: Bug id 454282 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=454282 Thanks for reporting this upstream. Going to close this as UPSTREAM and will monitor for resolution. Can you please not close this upstream. The kde (kdm) people have had 8 months to take a look at this and nothing has been done. With the increase in usage of tablet devices - surely this is an issue that needs to be addressed. Thankyou. That doesn't make it any less an upstream issue. *** Bug 539430 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
