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,
Thierry

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.

If you have only a single user, you can log in automatically and bypass the tdm screen altogether (or just allow passwordless logins for selected users) by adjusting some settings in tdmrc. That way you shouldn't need the keyboard.

I do have two users, but the second one ca be used by loging from the first one so that might be a solution. But then everyone can login too :)

Hi!
Ok, I this is what you need to do, to get xvkbd on the tdm login screen:
In /etc/trinity/tdm/Xsetup, add this line:
xvkbd &
In /etc/trinity/tdm/Xstartup, add this als line 3: killall xvkbd
You're done. Log out of your TDE session and enjoy the onscreen keyboard ...

Brilliant, thank you!
Works perfectly with onboard too (which I prefer to xvkbd). The layout is US and the keyboard disappears when you mouve it (but reapperas where you left it at the next login :)
This should also be saved somewhere, it's a very good solution.
