hello folks, i have a lenovo x61 tablet pc running lenny. its been
working out fairly well along with the florence onscreen keyboard.

the only place i cannot keep my computer in tablet mode is the x login screen.
my question is how can i display an onscreen keyboard [florence or
other] during the login process?

if that cannot be done are there other login screens that support an
onscreen keyboard for login purposes?

hmm... edited the two files as instructed but not only do i get no
keyboard but a nice notifier telling me that my config is bad.

along with that, gdm.conf in debian lenny is located in /etc/gdm/
and there is a usr file for gdm under /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf

shall i edit one, both?

make sure you used correct syntax.

/usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf is a example config file, edit the one in /etc/gdm.

Check the systax of both files, as Tao suggested.

Take special care while editing "/etc/gdm/modules/AccessKeyMouseEvents"
because there are already some lines enabled for "Gok" (another virtual
keyboard) that could be interfering with Florence. Do not delete these
entries, just comment them ("#").

No, you should only edit (or create, if not present):

/etc/gdm/custom.conf
/etc/gdm/modules/AccessKeyMouseEvents

Edit those files, check their syntax and review that there are no
duplicated entries for Gok and Florence in the latter, relogin, press
mouse button at least for 2 seconds to activate the virtual keyboard...
and that should be all :-)
