Okay,
This is finally fixed!
If anyone behind me cant get xvkbd to work on slitaz v3 here is the workaround.
edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to include (within font section)
add:
FontPath “/usr/share/fonts/X11/util”
FontPath “/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc”
Not sure if its needed or not but I also downloaded fedora 10 and installed it to a vm and once set up I installed iso-8859 fonts for my region. Inserted usb stick and copied out the /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi
and the /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi
folders out to usb stick.
In Slitaz I inserted usb and on command line:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
Here I only copied in two fonts from courier, both in 100dpi and 75dpi folders to /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi or 100pi respectively.
I then ejected usb stick and went to normal desktop computer and went to slitaz package search page. This was because by looking at xorg.log file I saw that font directories were not valid and it was suggested to run mkfontdir in the directories. Only slitaz did not include these until v5-cooking.
So in package search on slitaz site download both xorg-mkfontdir as well as xorg-mkfontscale from v5 repo. Put on usb and get it mounted back in target hardware. Install with tazpkg and go in to each directory for fons
/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi
/usr/share/fonts/X11/util
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc
in each of these directories run mkfontdir using cd to change between and running command in each. Double check xorg.conf file to make sure these are active and not commented out.
To include fonts in font db we need some prep:
fc-cache -f -v
watch it finish and double check with:
fc-list
and you should see new fonts in the total counts for each category.
In my case I am installed as live usb to internal HDD so I run
tazusb writefs gzip /dev/hda1
and after rebooting xvkbd works!!
