This page contains experiences and setup tips for target devices for Plasma Tablet. If you are running Plasma Tablet on a device not listed here, or if you would like to share setup tips, please add this information.

ViewSonic Viewpad 10

Key specifications:

  • 10' tablet at 1024x600
  • Intel Atom
  • Hanvon touchscreen

openSUSE 11.4

  • openSUSE 11.4 runs fine on this machine, graphics seem reasonably fast but the Blur effect in KWin's Dektop Effects has to be disabled
  • Problem with Hanvon touchpad, sending too many click events, makes touchscreen almost unusable.
  • The system comes with windows 7 and Android 1.6 initially. One can keep the dualboot option, Android takes by default 2 GB of the internal storage, win7 gets the rest. The system boots with a standard grub, when installing openSUSE 11.4, make sure you note the grub config for Android so you can add this back to grub later on. oS 11.4 doesn't add Android automatically to grub's config.
  • Network via wifi works out of the box


WeTab 3G

Key specifications:

  • 11,6" tablet at 1366x768
  • Intel Atom

openSUSE 11.4

  • To install openSUSE 11.4 on this device you need to have a Bios, that boots directly from USB. To update the Bios, you need to install a Dos-Disk on a usb-stick with the new Bios. You must modify the MBR, that you can boot from this stick. Origin: german forum thead on www.wetab-community.com about flashing the Bios
  • After the installation of openSUSE 11.4 the touchscreen is not functional. After the removing of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf the touchscreen works fine.
  • The system comes with WeOS, a modified Linux. The dualboot with the grub bootloader from openSUSE 11.4 work without any problems. Only that you need to plug in a usb keyboard to choose an entry. The touchscreen is not functional at this stage.
  • Network via wifi works out of the box

MeeGo

This device comes with MeeGo out of the box.


Lenovo Ideapad 10

Key specs:

  • 10' netbook with capacitive touchscreen
  • Intel Atom
  • large internal hdd
  • good testing workhorse.

openSUSE 11.4

openSUSE 11.4 runs fine on this hardware, including the touchscreen, suspend, etc. Multitouch does not work, unknown why, it works on MeeGo.

MeeGo

This device is also used by MeeGo as demo hardware for their discontinued Netbook UX.
