I assume the answer to be "no", but:
Is there any way to get an onscreen keyboard at the TDE login screen?
Actually this is the only "problem" left on this machine (Toshiba z20t):
refind does not work, so it's impossible to choose the OS at boot and to
login in tde without the keyboard.
This is not really a problem because I only want the tablet in special
situations, but the problem just nags.
Have a nice day,

Hi!
I'm not sure if "no" is the definite answer :-)
Please take a look at /etc/trinity/tdm/tdmrc, there you'll find at least 3 possible
ways to interfere:
[X-*-Core]
Reset=/etc/trinity/tdm/Xreset
Session=/etc/trinity/tdm/Xsession
Setup=/etc/trinity/tdm/Xsetup
Startup=/etc/trinity/tdm/Xstartup
[X-*-Greeter]
Preloader=/opt/trinity/bin/preloadkde
Please note that /opt/trinity/bin/preloadkde does not exist on my system, but it's
name is somewhat inviting ...
If the analogy with xdm holds for tdm, then /etc/trinity/tdm/Xsetup is most likely the
file you want to touch: Start xvkbd or what ever virtual keyboard you like to use. I'm
quite sure that you will need to disable "Secure Attention Key". Maybe
you'll have to kill the virtual keyboard from /etc/trinity/tdm/Xstartup.
