   inxi -F won't tell you enough about the display unless you use xx to   
   boost the 'verbosity' of System such as my earlier suggested inxi -Sxx

   Your display manager is sddm -- it comes 'from' qt 'stuff'.   
      
   gglAIov tells me that to get an OSK w/ sddm one should:

   ... but I'm not sure that the AI isn't 'confabulating' a little. If I   
   look at synaptic package manager, I have to come at the qt-based virtual   
   keyboard somewhat differently than the above advice.   
      
   I would research that above AI result a little better; but it sounds   
   like it is 'do-able'.
