Keyboard

[Jack]

I have a Samsung tablet that has windows 7 on it and a built in keyboard. It has one USB port I can plug in a keyboard but I like to have Porteus Mate have the same kind keyboard. I can't have a keyboard and USB Porteus plug in at the same time. What kind of module can I get or use to have a built in keyboard?

[Ed_P]

Porteus has always supported my built in keyboard Jack. On 3 different notebooks. No module needed.

Ed, I think Jack needs a on-screen keyboard for his tablet
Jack,use svkbd it works on all desktops it is a standard QWERTY keyboard

Code: Select all

slapt-mod -u
slapt-mod -M svkbd

it has no menu entry though use this command to run it from terminal

Code: Select all

svkbd

hi jack you have to specify the system environment we have two porteus but one is arch and other is slackware so https://slackware.nl/slakfinder/index.p ... e=#results and the other one you have to build from the aur branch with nemesis
