We don't currently support tablets. One day we'd like to but just
don't have the resources to do so, there's currently one tablet UX
that I'm aware of in Fedora that's nearing usability and that's the
KDE plasma tablet interface. I know a couple of people are looking at
testing that on an ARM device to ensure it at least works. From there
we'd need to get a device to work with it. I do have a tablet device
that I would like to support in Fedora but due to X drivers it's not
currently possible.

I think at the moment if that is what you want to hack on, and while
we can provide assistance you'll need to be able to do some fairly low
level debug, the best tablet device that would stand a chance of
working is the Archos A9 series which have the dual core OMAP4
chipset.
