I tried using the keyboard program in testmore; no result.

 

How do I get some sort of keyboard on the F500 FW4? Will an external work thru the mini-USB?

u HAVE to calibrate your touchscreen to be able to reach the keyboard. do a search for my username in the forum i just posted a response/howto a few weeks ago.

thanks. I'll check.

 

I tried two keyboards thru the USB; neither worked, nor did a mouse.

 

I have calibrated the screen and found the keyboard icon, but cannot activate it.

I only found 3 posts, but figured out why the calibration is essential. My keyboard icon was not responding, even after many careful calibrations.... until just now.. I am not familiar with CE, nor have I found any guide, except for developers.

 

Thanks for the key to that aspect; now on to bigger and better...........at least as far as FW ver. 4 will cooperate.
