I also noticed that I cannot login without an external keyboard after setting a password. Would this be fixed by the same work or should I create a separate issue?

@Palmiga1 Hi, we have a new nightly build which enabled virtual keyboard on PIXEL desktop for GTK and Qt application, this implementation reuses the same qtvirtualkeyboard package:

If you like to test, here's the download link:

Thanks for the link. The keyboard works good for the Pixel-desktop. :-)
But i could not login, if I switch the auto-login off.

The screen-keyboard is not working in the login-screen.
Even a normal keyboard, connected to the USB-port is not working correct, or did you change the standard-password?

@Palmiga1 thank you for the test! I don't know too much about the login screen, but maybe that lightdm was not designed with touch or keyboard in mind. the password is default raspberry. Perhaps we can switch to SSDM or GDM for better touch support?

Here's a new build (fixed the annoying predictive text & added Ctrl key to terminal layout):

You are making great progress.
The menu is now shown at the correct position and I can see the shutdown-screen after 6s (see #8). The terminal-keyboard works great.

Will the hdmi-output work soon? I see changes in the screen-configurations.
