Ah, the old xontab business. I confess I never paid any attention to this bit in build recipe in the old days but now that I actually have a Pi Touch screen on a moOde player it's worth a shot.
You'll have to give me a few hours. The security restrictions introduced into Chromium/Chrome in the last 5 years prevent one from loading extensions directly from the command line. (That's because malware writers were exploiting this ability to load in their own evil extensions.) Every load has to come through the Chrome Web Store.
I've figured out how to force the Local Display to the correct page in the Chrome Web Store from the command line. I even think I might have loaded the xontab extension with a simple touch of the screen but I haven't yet succeeded in activating the virtual keyboard from the touch screen.
You'll have to give a few hours to either succeed and tell how I did it or fail and confess defeat.
Regards,
Kent
