There sure is! If you look back one page (page 11) you'll see a couple of posts on Android.

To add to the confusion, I tried the pure ubuntu CD, quantal, no KDE, no LXDE or anything else. Just Gnome. That works fine though. Touch works without a problem. Awww :-/ So it's KDE that's messing...
Favux: Yeah, uhm, I noticed that after I made my post. It seems like more hassle than I would like to go through just to try out.
cheshire: Oh, hi there! I'm just playing around really. I would...
Only one cursor. Which finger it goes to seems a bit random. Jumping forth and back a bit sometimes also seems a bit random. Sometimes it's not sure of which finger to go with (but it only goes to...
Well, to make sure I booted the SD card off of an SD card reader in the USB port on the TX2. Which didn't work. Kernel wouldn't see it once it had loaded. So copying and fumbling a bit forth and back...
Ok, that was weird... It works. Sort of. I mean, I can touch and I can select things, I can move slide bars up and down or side to side, but, I can not make the cursor move at all. That is, the arrow...
So... I installed quantal KDE on to an SD card (I was just running the installation CD off of an SD card before). It boots up to a black screen. CTRL+ALT+F1 lands me in a console on tty1. A simple...
No luck... :( Here are the resulting xorg.logs.
You're welcome. ;)
It has a built in mini SSD. As oppose to other pc's I've had, this one is quiet a hassle to open and to replace the mini SSD.
The nice thing though is that it also has a slot...
So, what do you need? I just picked a few.
12.04 has some half-screen weirdness going on. 12.10 works better than fine. Finger touch doesn't work though. Pen touch does.
BTW I like how I can...
Okay, so I feel stupid. It seems like it's simple to fix the infamous "jumping cursor". At least in Windows it is.
So, the other week I got my Slate 500 to play around with. They are so cheap now...
So, I played around with Android x86 on the device. It performs really nicely. Only thing is, bluetooth doesn't work on it. So I replace my wireless card with a new Intel 6230. And then bluetooth...
So... There's a 3.3-rc2 out. I promised I would post, but there's a better way. Go to ubuntu's own site for experimental kernels:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
There you'll find...
So you haven't been able to get multitouch to work?
There might be an update as Windows 8 comes out. Though, I wouldn't hold my breath.
This is a great device though. It's much more responsive...
M-mm. I have a feeling the KDE-team have a nice surprise up their sleeve as well. But that sounds nice.
Also, Phoronix, it's a lovely news-site. I like! ; )
Here's the full 3.3.0-rc1. 64-bit.
As always, only run this on a test system. You don't know if I've added some funny surprises, or even worse, if I've messed it up totally.
It runs fine for me,...
NEW KERNEL COMPILED 19th Jan 2012
Not that there's much of a change. Still, here it is:

(As always, only run this...
The greatest problem is always behind the screen. And in this case it is me. Weee...
No, I didn't make much out of any of the config-files from the TX2 howto.
I have two of the TX2's, and still...
The things I feel are missing in GNU/Linux are:
- G-sensor, it's a minus to me that I can't just rotate the screen and the screen follows, just like some other OS does.
- Buttons, it'd be...
I second that. But then again, I think all programming blows.
I'm so glad I don't have to hassle with that... :P
Well, it's SUPPOSED to work. But even on my TX2's I only get single touch. This one (ep121) is supposed to have two touch points. However, if I touch somewhere on the screen and then touch with a...
So, being impatient I've compiled the latest kernel (latest as of Jan 18th).
You can find it (64-bit) here:
http://hotfile.com/dl/142433848/be3a0f4/kernel-3.3a-18th-jan-12.tar.bz2.html
PS....
You'll be waiting for some time then. Kernel 3.2 won't be released until new years, or just after. Sooo... 12.04 will be based on kernel 3.2. It's not until 12.10 (almost a year from now) that we'll...
According to the bug listing on ep121, the problem with the touchscreen lies in the kernel. It will be fixed in linux kernel 3.3 (and I can't wait! =).
The discussion then moved over to...
