why weston-keyboard invisible?

In my custom board we are using am335x with ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-03.00.00.04 so our sdk is weston waylan based. The problem is weston-keyboard is not shown when any input panel clicked on my qt application if there is no usb keyboard plugged. If I plugged a usb keybord to my board westonkeyboard can be shown when I click any input panel? Why it is now shown when our board only have touch screen input? 

my weston.ini file in /etc/

[shell]
locking=false
animation=zoom
panel-location=top
startup-animation=fade

[screensaver]
# Uncomment path to disable screensaver
#path=@libexecdir@/weston-screensaver

[input-method]
path=/usr/libexec/weston-keyboard

[keyboard]
keymap_layout=gb
keymap_layout=gb,de
keymap_options=caps:ctrl_modifier,shift:both_capslock_cancel
### keymap_options from /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst ###
numlock-on=true

Regard

    Hi Mre,

    The weston.ini file seems correct according to following links:
    rpm.pbone.net/.../weston.ini
    linoxide.com/.../
    Could you give more clarifications about:
    "The problem is weston-keyboard is not shown when any input panel clicked on my qt application ..."

    Hi Tsvetolin, 

    I have a helloworld qt application which has a simple line edit. On our custom am335x board we have two usb port and a resistive touch screen. When I run my hello qt application and click line edit by touch screen, weston-keyboard is not shown. But if I plug a usb keyboard to our usb port and then restart the qt application at this time when I click the line edit by touch screen the weston-keyboard is shown without any problem. I think the problem is weston-keyboard is using of xkbcommon, so if there is no any keyboard plugged to the system weston-keyboard not working? Is there any solution to figure out this issue,? it may be simple environment variable export can handle it or maybe  there is a bug in weston source code.

    BR

    Mre,

    When I plug a keyboard Linux kernel detects USB keyboard plugging event. There is the output observed on my board and it shows correct Linux kernel behaviour:

    On other hand seems that there is some issue with keyboard plugging detection by weston software which could be a bug. The Weston reference implementation is part of the Wayland project which is not a TI's project. There is Wayland project page:
    wayland.freedesktop.org/
    You can report weston related issues at:
    bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi
