Fedora 12 on/sur Tablet PC

English

Fedora 12 release is cleanly installed on Tablet PC and the backup is fully restored despite the mishap from pybackpack application due to its inability to use CD/DVD. The whole installation was smooth. I notice both Keyboard and Language selection can be combined on the same page and am planning for a mockup.

The stylus is fully supported out of box which has become a norm for me as art (designer is an artist). Gone is the tweaking of xorg.conf.

On negative side is the backlight that will stay in low level and the hotkey will not work after either suspend or hibernation of laptop. Screen cannot be rotated out of box in Tablet mode and some keys will not be recognized.

La sortie Fedora 12 est nettement installé sur la TabletPC et les archives restorés malgré les problèmes de l'application pybackpack en raison du manque de support de CD/DVD. L'installation complète est sans histore. J'ai remarqué que les pages Clavier et Langage peuvent être combinées en une et je prévois une maquette à ce propos.

Le stylus est bien supporté étant la norme pour un artiste (designer est en fait un artiste). Plus besoin de manipuler xorg.conf.

Le bémol est la lumière d'écran restant au bas niveau et ses touches ne fonctionne pas après la suspension ou l'hibernation du portable. L'écran virtuel ne tourne pas au mode Tablette et certaines clefs ne sont pas reconnues.

Testing Design Suite on Asus X550ZE

I recently bought an ASUS X550ZE to replace the venerable Sony VAIO N250E laptop. The reason of choosing an AMD powered laptop is for long term support i.e. the use of Vulkan API in future AMD GPU driver.
