-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, lets say, the Tablet TR3000 (also GoBook) share the same sort of hardware/driver-software with the Rugged iTronix IX260 II GoBook. To find out look under XP in the device/system infos. Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard PS/2 Compatible Aux Port [Mouse] Synaptics, Inc. - Progressive Touch Version 7.5.5 24Apr03 * Semtech, for Stylus Touch screen pointer. if you find any thing like this, you are properly OK. The installation of FreeBSD-5.3 will find the nesesery hardware, the pointer device is recognised as a AUX mouse pointer... just like a 2nd mouse.... but ! I think to be able to install FreeBSD on a Tablet, you need to create a sort of old fashion desktop setup... attaches a external CD-ROM or floppy drive, and a standard external Keyboard for a start, until you will com to that point where you can set up the X11R6 envirement. Now at that point you only need to prob the mouse pointer with AUTO-detection, nothing else ! and X11 will allow you to use the Stylus. The thing is, that the stylus get recognised, but need calibrating ! In FreeBSD-4.11 was the "XF86config.sample" file, that got the Touch screen settings in it to be able to calibrate it manually. Screen resolution ATM RADEON 1024x768 XGA works nice with my screen. Otherwise I did found a man page for Linux (Slackware-9.0), that describes how to set up a touch screen under Linux. I never could find out how to make it work so that the pointer hit's spot on, Linux use it's own libary file. Regarding the installation of FreeBSD... you may have to use a FAT16 partition and copy the FreeBSD CD on to it and install it from there, by booting from a Floppy, or install it over LAN by using a 16bit PCMCIA network card, even FreeBSD-5.4 don't recognise a 32bit CardBus card during installation. Some people will tell you to swoop the HD, but I don't like that. hope that helps, and I would be very interested to kow how you got on, may helps me to find the calibration settings I'll need ;o) Hanno freebsd-mobile-request@freebsd.org wrote: | Send freebsd-mobile mailing list submissions to | freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org | | To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit | http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile | or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to | freebsd-mobile-request@freebsd.org | | You can reach the person managing the list at | freebsd-mobile-owner@freebsd.org | | When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific | than "Re: Contents of freebsd-mobile digest..." | | | Today's Topics: | | 1.

How do you access the touch-screen? Does it appear to be a mouse? What do you use for console input (keyboard)? Do you have a plan for hardwriting recognition? I would like a general purpose handwriting recognizer that supplies input just like a keyboard, useable by standard applications. Not for a text editor or word processor, more as a way to get input into a text input widget, like a File Save As dialog box, without rewriting the dialog box code. Have you found anything like that?

After the upgrade, mi Linksys card doesn't work anymore. This is what the kernel reports: ed1: <Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100)> at port 0x100-0x11f irq 11 function 0 config 16 on pccard0 ed1: [GIANT-LOCKED] ed1: Ethernet address: aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa ed1: if_start running deferred for Giant type NE1000 (8 bit) ed1: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 55295 The strange thing is that it works perfectly under 4.8.
