Full-screen keyboard for VGA?

Tried SPB Plus Full Screen Keyboard, but it doesn't appear to "stretch" to the full screen width in VGA mode as I would suspect it to.

The built-in keyboard is way too small in VGA mode. What am I missing here?

Thanks.

I use Resco Keyboard Pro. They just updated their version a few days ago to work even better with devices in real vga mode. I bought it and am totally satisfied.

there is also the happy tapping keyboard which has a lanscape version that fits the width of the true vga landsape screen.

it is free but download/install is a little tricky - search the forums or my posts for more info

Back to the topic at hand. SPB on their site claims to add vga support to their new version, 2.1. The old version (2.01) always had the 240x320 screen float at the the top, never 'streching' to full screen, in vga.

My problem now is AFTER installing the new version, when in true vga, nothing comes up. I can hit the fullscreen button over and over with no success. Has this worked for anyone? And yes, its installed where it should be and i did do a soft reset after install...

And has anyone tried to make a 480x640 skin out of the template on spb's site? (as in resizing from 240x320) It was a random thought; maybe it's worth a shot...


on an irrelivant side note, this is my first post here. you guys are excellent. i've never needed to post before mostly because of your organization and complete thourogh convorsations. so please flame the hell out of this n00b if i missed this answer in a search...

A nice program and free is call ripboard. Been using it, and no problems! It's on this page near the bottom.

agreed, i use ripboard when in vga and it serves its purpose. but the spb keyboard comes in handy when replying to posts like this. BUT i have to soft reset every time i want to use this keyboard and be left with viewing the web and other applications in non-vga. i dont have the pocket room around work to carry a bluetooth keyboard just to send quick e-mails.

so the question somewhat remains, has anyone gotten the spb full screen to work in vga?

thanks for any and all help

Umm, if you have a VGA device you are all ways in VGA. Or do you mean that you use a hack program and then switch to normal VGA.
