fc14 using vmware player under windows 7. No virtual keyboard works completely:
gok--nothing but an incomprehensible menu, nothing in the system
menus. Never got a keyboard to appear.
florence--keys press but aren't passed along to the application
matchbox-keyboard--worked until I had to enter something that included
a hash (#). The keyboard puts the sign for English pounds sterling
where the # should be and has a separate key for #--which doesn't
work, apparently.
only found florence and matchbox-keyboard using yum search. No clue
anywhere in the default system as installed as to how to use a virtual
keyboard.
this is not my primary system. I don't absolutely have to solve this
problem, but what if I did? Nothing comprehensible in the system as
installed about accessibility. Maybe I should install an instance of
ubuntu, as well. I can't believe it would be as user-hostile.
