I was wondering. In the commit which disabled the driver on x86, Jeff commented:
- New options specific to tablets, all disabled: * INPUT_SOC_BUTTON_ARRAY (windows tablet) * R8723AU (Lenovo Yogi)
Which means tablets are apparently considered off the table. But that's inconsistent with the rest of the configuration file:
CONFIG_INPUT_TABLET=y CONFIG_TABLET_USB_ACECAD=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_AIPTEK=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_GTCO=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_HANWANG=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_KBTAB=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_WACOM=m CONFIG_FUJITSU_TABLET=m
Most of the inconsistency here is the overloading of the term "tablet." All of the CONFIG_TABLET_USB_* options refer to artists' tablets that plug into any machine as an input device. The FUJITSU_TABLET option should probably be disabled.
Doh, stupid me. Of course I know of tablets for artists, there's one on the desk next to mine. Sorry for the noise. I don't think we can disable FUJITSU_TABLET, as it supports hybrid laptop/tablet models, which are fine as openSUSE hosts. I am more skeptical about the long list of touchscreen drivers, I suspect at least some of these are for pure tablets. But this is hardly documented so I'm afraid we won't be able to disable a significant number of these.
Actually, the Yoga 13 is a little more than your standard tablet. It has a keyboard, 8 GB RAM, USB 2 and 3 ports, a 256 GB SSD, and an i7 processor. Of course at ~$1000, it is priced like a notebook/laptop computer.
Installing openSUSE would be no more difficult on one of those than it was to install on my new Toshiba A50.
It being an hybrid laptop/tablet, I concur. You just have to perform the installation in laptop configuration. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
