Get a bluetooth keyboard. Very useful for gaming in general, as well as all the emulators.

If someone wants a little project, there's a virtual keyboard for X in the Windowmaker project (search ITT forums). There's also a package called xvkbd you can compile but it requires some dependencies i haven't had time to build.

Then there's the issue of triggering the virtual keyboard to display, without hacking the source of dosbox and the other emus. I'm not sure how that'd be done without taking-up one of the hardware buttons. Perhaps the vkbd program could monitor for a button sequence, or possibly screen taps on the edges.

(edit) Problem solved! (mostly)



you can grab the xkbd and config file at http://pupnik.de/xkbd.html
