Brief Summary: Can't use xvkbd when launched with kdm to login on a tablet pc. Description of problem: 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). (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. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.0.1 and 4.0.5 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install xvkbd (Download from: http://homepage3.nifty.com/tsato/xvkbd/ ) 2. Add to the top of the file "/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0" the line : /usr/bin/xvkbd -geometry +200-0 -no-keypad -always-on-top & 3. Restart and attempt to login using virtual keyboard and mouse/pointer.(Note you need to press the focus button on xvkbd and then click/select field in which you want to enter data) Actual results: Can't press buttons on the virtual keyboard Expected results: Buttons on virtual keyboard are depressed.
