Fedora 20 on an old tablet PC

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi,

I would like to install (and use) Fedora 20/21 on an old Gateway TB120 tablet PC (2Gb
memory, 300GB disk, Core2 Duo processor, etc) that has been lying around at work. I was
wondering if anything special is needed wrt installation and how to get the stylus, etc
going. According to the shell of the laptop, it appears to have a Wacom device. Is there
any place I can read up on this? I am interested in being able to use the tablet features
and the stylus. 

Is the generic Fedora Gnome spin the best one to use or is something else more
preferable?

Sorry for all these questions: I have no experience with tablets but I thought that this
might be worth trying and learning!

Thanks again for any advice!

Best wishes,
Ranjan

I wanted to provide an update on my experiments with using Fedora 20 on the old Gateway
TB-120. It has generally worked well, but it is very sluggish with the stock Fedora. One
could go down to XFCE/LXDE, but I am considering going all the way down to a minimal
install with a window-manager (openbox) which I am quite familiar with.

However, in that case, how do I get the stylus to be calibrated. This is important because
I would like to connect the device to a projector which has resolution of 1024x768 while
the tablet itself has a resolution of 1080x800. What is the commandline option to bring
this calibration tool up?

Many thanks,
Ranjan

Hehe then it's notebook, and you probably don't need anything in particular that
relates to the thoroughbred tablets, 
especially in relation to the installation.
Super duper.

So, I was able to install without a hitch. The stylus works, at least sort of. One thing I
am unable to get is the keyboard on the tablet such that using the stylus on it would make
it possible to type. Is there such a feature?

I installed from the Design Suite LiveCD. 

Many thanks and best wishes,

Point is not on Bay Trail, Haswell or WhatNot, it is a reference to a person who's
doing it and can help you to cope with the tabs, AdamW.

Thank you! I will stick with stock items. I have no idea what Bay Trail is.

And, this is based on F21 Alpha with Kernel 3.17rc6 and may or may not be update-able via
the normal repos.

IMO, you'd be better off sticking with stock items.

You have an old Gateway TB120 Tablet PC and this spin is for "Intel Bay Trail-based
tablet devices with 32-bit firmwares".   And you're going to try it first?

Is your old Gateway a "Bay Trail-based tablet device"?

Should I try the Design-Suite LiveCD? 
 https://spins.fedoraproject.org/design/#home

Or the base LiveCD? In the latter case, will it have the packages to recognize the Wacom,
etc devices?

Many thanks,
Ranjan

The Wacom drivers are part of the kernel.  So, it shouldn't make a
difference....

Boot the LiveCD on it and see how/if it works?  There are different LiveCD's for
different desktops.

Thanks! I read this earlier this morning, but I was not sure if this applied to a tablet
pc. But i guess it does apply to those. The picture threw me off because it made me think
that it is for tablets only.

I notice that they do not have a iso for a 64-bit machine.

Thanks!

Maybe I will try this first.

Best wishes,
Ranjan
