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.
