auto-login

I want to use Ubuntu+Unity(11.10) in a kiosk computer (touchscreen all-in-one pc).
I want to use touchscreen for all user input (like ATM).
During Installation I have created only one account and enabled auto Login.
Auto Login works perfectely when the keyboard connected. I don't have to press any key or use mouse, it logs in automatically.
But Its not working when keyboard is not connected. OS boots and stops on login screen. I can't connect keyboard in final kiosk hardware installation.
