I'm trying to use Fedora on a touch-screen only tablet but haven't
been able to solve this crucial problem: there doesn't appear to be
anyway to log into the system without a physical keyboard. Everything
else worked fine out of the box but the Universal Access keyboard
appears to work only after a desktop session is logged into.
From web search, it seems that some folks had been trying to do this
since several Fedora versions ago but there appeared to be no
solution. Is this still the case even with F20 and I should be looking
at other distribution instead or is there some way around this?
It has been a while, so I do not remember the exact details. But
what you need to do is have your display manager launch the virtual
keyboard as part of the init sequence. I am guessing that for gdm,
you would put it in the /etc/gdm/custom.conf. You may also want to
look at the /etc/X11/xinit directory tree. Add a file in
/etc/X11/xinit/xinit.d?
I am sorry I can not remember how to do it, but it has probably
changed sense the last time I did it. This should at least get you
pointed in the correct direction...
