If using KDE: Kick Off Application Launcher > Applications > Utilities > Virtual Keyboard 8)

P.S. No idea if it also works on a touch screen. :unknown:

@myrevolution78
Are you using Chrome or Firefox?

If Chrome then you could follow these instructions:
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=4889

If Firefox then this post should help:
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=102&t=1741

btw: moved to kiosk section
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
