--- Comment #45 from Stefan Dirsch
I've read the page about usability. What I say is that a non-working tablet on a TabletPC is an issue at the same level that non-working keyboard/mouse on classical computers. A blocking human interface issue should be considered as far more critical on a tabletPC than on a server on which that is not an usability issue.
I would agree, if TabletPcs would be, i.e could be the main focus of openSUSE. How many TabletPcs work out-of-the-box with openSUSE. One? Two? Maybe three? Why is it that critcial to support exactly one more of thousands TabletPCs available? It doesn't help most of the TabletPC users.
I also don't know what to do now to help to get touchscreens works "out-of-the-box" with 11.2. If the 2 packages done by Stefan (thanks !) are not included in the 11.2 release, what should we do ? Open a new bug report for 11.2 ?
We only fix critical and security bugs for a released product. :-(
Enhance SDB to help newbies to find and install required packages from OBS repos ? Something else ?
I suggest to update your excellent help article on opensuse.org and describe how to update x11-input-wacom and sax2 packages. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
