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?

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

I ran it and receive error. What do I need to do?
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ svkbd
error, cannot allocate color 'FOREGROUND'
guest@porteus:~$
guest@porteus:~$ su
Password:
root@porteus:/home/guest# svkbd
error, cannot allocate color 'FOREGROUND'
root@porteus:/home/guest#
