Re: [Trisquel-users] Tablets that can run GNU/Linux

[davesamcdxv]

I'm looking for whether there exists a tablet, as of now out of curiousity,  
that has a battery life, and perhaps weight, that rivals that of those  
Android tablets. So I'm guessing the X60T won't do, the X200T would have a  
small chance if Gluglug starts doing it, and Intel Atom tablets.will be  
perfect if I can get GNU/Linux running nicely on it with lengthy battery  
life.

I do think that the X60T (or, even more than that, the  
one-I-want-to-avoid-even-more Compaq TC1000) is a tablet. But not quite what  
I quite want...

when you say tablet what do you mean?
why do you think the x60t would not do?

Though I can't answer your question, i want to add that a tablet running a  
fully functional version of trisquel would be far superior to a galaxy 2  
running replicant.

The latter one is barely acceptable... slow 2d graphics, no wifi, no video.

The only Intel Media Accelerator I could find on h-node was Intel Graphics  
Media Accelerator 4500, and it says it works with 3d acceleration, but I  
guess that doesn't means the 600 does to.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Tablets that can run GNU/Linux

Does anybody knows if 3d acceleration works too on Dell Latitude ST? grimlok  
mention he would add it's information to h-node but it seems he never did,  
and it seems it's not possible to contact him on his profile on this forum :(

According to the specs I found on the Internet it uses a Intel Graphics Media  
Accelerator 600. Any ideas? xD

there is a tablet version of the thinkpad x60
and the x60(and therefore x60 tablet) with libreboot installed is compatible  
with

gnu/linux(if you change the wifi card)

you can find info here
http://www.libreboot.org/docs/hcl/index.html#supported_x60_list

That's great tomlukeywood . Thanks :)

just make sure to read the libreboot info here:
http://www.libreboot.org/docs/hcl/index.html#supported_x60t_list

that’s if you installing libreboot
i think you could use it without but obviously
libreboot would be better

[Trisquel-users] Tablets that can run GNU/Linux

[davesamcdxv]

According to https://trisquel.info/es/forum/trisquel-tablet , the Dell  
Latitude ST can nicely run Trisquel.


Since that is a Windows 7 tablet, and since all those bootup software mess  
sort of didn't start until around the time Windows 8 was launched (if I  
remember correctly), does that mean that there was a generation of Intel Atom  
Windows 7 Tablets which made use of the 'power efficient' Intel Atom and yet  
supports having their OS' changed, perhaps replaced with GNU/Linux? If there  
is, how good is the battery life? Is it as good as the Android tablets that  
most people use?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Tablets that can run GNU/Linux

[davesamcdxv]

Or have I gotten it all wrong and there are new, Windows 8, x86 tablets that  
actually do run GNU/Linux?
