Hi tuxiano, our stable PPA, currently at 1.0.1-0ppa~trusty3, doesn't have the wacom fix yet. There'll be a 1.0.2 soon that has it, but at the moment you can get the fix only from our snapshot PPA at
https://launchpad.net/~onboard/+archive/snapshots

In short, get 1.0.1+1799-0ppa~trusty1or later to fix typing in lightdm. Then, in the user session, return the setting Preferences->Keyboard->Advanced->Touch input to 'multi-touch'. This can be done from command line too:
gsettings reset org.onboard.keyboard touch-input

The reason you can type at all is probably that you still have Preferences->Keyboard->Advanced->Touch input set to 'none', as I asked you to do in #4. If you have the snapshot 1.0.1+1799-0ppa~trusty1 installed you don't need this workaround anymore.
