plasma-applet-plasmaboard-0.8-1mdv2010.0.i586.rpm

Welcome to plasmaboard, a virtual keyboard for your desktop! It is designed exspecially with keyboard users in mind.

REQUIREMENTS:
- You need a working GNU Compiler toolchain. 
- Cmake
- KDE Headers files (kde development packages)
- Xlib Header files (X develpment packages)
- XTest Extension Header files (X develpment packages)
- QT Header files (QT development packages)


HOW TO INSTALL

In the main directory run 
 - cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4 (Replace with your KDEDIR if necessary)
 - make
 - make install/strip (as root or: sudo make install/strip )
 

KNOWN ISSUES

- When pressing "Alt Gr" the symbols on the keyboard do not adapt. This is an issue with the underlying X-Function, which seems
only to do mapping for the shift key correctly. No known solution yet. Despite of that AltGr works as expected 

- When changing the xkb-modmap, plasmaboard does not adapt automatically. You need to force the relabeling of the keys. Press "Shift" for example

- Backspace key does not work in eclipse. Don't know why. If you find other applications in which plasmaboard doesn't work as expected, please report

- Caps lock does not work for some keys. Don't know why. Shift works.
