Description Joe Da Silva 2011-12-16 22:07:10 CET

Description of problem:
Someone on the Mandriva forum was in need of a touchscreen keyboard, and of the different versions tried, found that "Onboard" seemed like a good quality choice. Since we are seeing more touchscreen and tablet computers, it may be worth adding Onboard as a possible choice to the next Mageia. Should try use the "latest" version due to added timer feature and bug fixes.

Bugfix in reference was solved here (note version number wasn't merged into stable at that point in time, but likely included by the time Mageia2 rolls out):

The software wasn't in Mdv 2010.2, but is in 2011.0

onboard is now in Cauldron (and will be in Mageia 2), although not yet to the latest version. I hope I can make it to 0.97.0 by the version freeze for Mageia 2. Thanks for the report.
