Have you tried Onboard?
sudo apt-get install onboard
I haven't finished compiling the img yet, so I haven't tried it.

Onboard fails to start and florence crashes when you press any key on it.

The only one I have been able to get to work just from repos is xvkbd.

I don't know about florence but for onboard  install 

Code:

sudo apt-get install gir1.2-atspi-2.0

Then go to onboard settings and in the general uncheck Auto-show when editing text . In keyboard uncheck enabled  under typing assistance. Onboard should start.

Which GPIO controls the brightness? Would you mind sharing your script?

this code is dirty but just checks the state of xscreensaver and writes to the pin. there are better ways but this works. needs root

doesnt actually turn off the lcd though. just dulls it.

Code:

echo 362 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio362/direction

while true; do
 case "`xscreensaver-command -time | egrep -o ' blanked|non-blanked|locked'`" in
   " blanked")     echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio362/value ;;
   "non-blanked")  echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio362/value ;;
 esac
 sleep 5
done

The script runs OK but hangs during kernel compilation.
