@bakonyi.ferenc I've just tried this on qemu-amd64 and fbkeyboard segfaults.

I've also tried loading the uinput module, but it still segfaults.

What are the other requirements?

The qemu-amd64 uses the Alpine's linux-lts and uinput module is not builtin there, so we really have to figure out all the required modules and load them (as mentioned here !1096 (comment 310728985))

If I launch fbkeyboard on the loaded system, the keyboard is displayed correctly but after I move the mouse it crashes with an Arithmetic exception (in dmesg it says traps: fbkeyboard[3036] trap divide error).

So there is actually a required module, or more, that is not loaded on the initramfs which is required, no idea which one.

uinput module was moved to /etc/postmarketos-mkinitfs/modules/30-console-shell.modules MR !1152 (closed) is needed to modprobe it during initramfs.
