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.
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

with

you can find info here

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
Or have I gotten it all wrong and there are new, Windows 8, x86 tablets that
actually do run GNU/Linux?
Hello, can someone explain to me why a libre tablet would have to have
fundamentally different hardware specs (beside the touch screen), than a SSD
netbook ?
RMS' issue with cellular telephones goes well beyond the issue of software
freedom. Using a cell phone (smart or not) also invites the invasion of one's
privacy by the cellular service company as well as the government. My
impression from his writings is that he wouldn't use one even if the
I have been waiting years a free tablet.
An 11.6 inch screen, solid state hard drives, and zero fans.
HDMI support would be nice too.
You are going to be waiting a while. If I'm recalling correctly the only
tablets that might be free software compatible with those specs are with an
Intel mobile chipset. Not any of the tablet chipsets. This means the battery
life isn't great.
Additionally there is work on a 7 tablet by
I was thinking of the ExoPC Slate (Intel Atom Pineview-M N450) with WeTab
OS--sans the fan--which was based on Meego/Tizen--with work to remove the
non-free parts.
The short battery life really isn't an issue for me. Eight hours sitting
on the couch, plucking away at a tablet is more than
Does anyone know if the OLPC XO3 tablet will use openfirmware and is usable
with 100% free software?
If we were to get a good x86 tablet for example capable of running Trisquel,
we'd need to do some engineering, I think, to make the experience
comfortable.
Consider, for example, the bottoms at the top of windows to close and
minimize windows - those are small buttons and not
As a tablet OS unity has a lot going for it over Gnome, KDE, and others. The
problem is most of the software that exists right now in your typical
distribution is not tablet friendly. I have spoken with the project and it
sounds like Spark is heading in the right direction. It is probably a
I'm not sure that Chris got the attention or enthusiast he was expecting on
realising a x86 tablet. I personally will love to have one, so I made a

To clarify. It isn't that we don't want to ship a tablet.
It does not appear that we would be able to ship one that meets even the
minimum of free software standards. We also couldn't ensure the
drivers/firmware were eventually available under a free software license.
If we can confirm
I know that tablets have usually inferior performance than a regular notebook
but do you think that this tablet will be able to run Xonotics

Some time ago, when I used to listen to #replicant@freenode, I was planning
to help porting Replicant to Samsung Galaxy 5... I didn't help because I was
using Parabola and had troubles with Python and other things. Now I'm on
Trisquel (I migrated because of my time) and maybe I

it has been ported yet, but they work very fast IMO so I recommend you to ask

We would probably be looking at the following specifications:

It would be great to have a tablet running Trisquel!
As far as features go, I would definantly want an SSD, wifi obivously,

Hello Chris.
I found a tablet with similar specifications (running Ubuntu) here:

The prices for the atom tablets are much higher than the regular Android
tablets offered, so perhaps ARM would be preferable (assuming you can get all
the needed
We could probably ship it with Trisquel given it is x86 although Trisquel
isn't a tablet OS. I'm not sure how well it would work.
We would probably have a lot of trouble going with ARM for a number of
reasons. I don't believe Trisquel for instance has an ARM port for starters.
We would prefer not use Android as it is laden with non-free pieces. There
may be some other options out there for ARM although the amount of
I believe Ubuntu supports it with 11.10 but all I see are preinstalled

Realistically since Trisquel takes the 32 and 64 bit versions of Ubuntu and
adds their own flavor, how much work would it take to apply that same
methodology
