https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372729 User probono@myrealbox.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372729#c5 --- Comment #5 from Simon Peter 2008-03-27 06:22:35 MST --- So "it's a feature, not a bug" (tm). I am experiencing this on a HP Compaq tc4400 which is a Tablet PC indeed. So I understand that xvkbd is launched on this machine intentionally. Which is fine, as long as it could be closed in an obvious way. Since the tablet of the HP Compaq tc4400 does not work on the Live system (at least not out-of-the-box), I see little advantage in launching a (non-functional) virtual on-screen keyboard. It would make sense to launch xvkbd if the tablet would work. Maybe there is a possibility to add a check and only launch xvkbd if a tablet is properly initialized by its drivers and known working. Please let me know if I should open another bug regarding the non-working tablet and what information is needed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

After I have manually entered the user "linux" and a blank password, xvkbd is indeed killed as described in #6. (But only now that I have manually logged out and in again; this does *not* happen on the initial launch of GDM/GNOME on the Live CD.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It has no window decorations (close button) at all, so there is no obvious way to close it. So please be so kind and re-check xvkbd interaction with the screensaver. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
