x86 tablet

Notes about using Arch / Gnome on an x86 tablet

To Do

• Disable the broken webcam driver (atom-isp2) in the Arch kernel
• No way to copypaste from osd/applications
• No window controls with fingers in gnome
• Loading gnome is a big slow, ~ 10-15 seconds (I/O?)
• Try out the phosh compositor
• Speakers emit a loud beep after a while, when playing a video (in firefox/chromium on npostart.nl or kodi)
• Landscape mode does not work in gnome / panel => iio-sensor-proxy (add to gnome group?)
• Hardware video decoding (mpv) (6263a231b3edabe651c64ab55be2a429b717ac9a in dotfiles)
• Firefox does not support one finger scrolling, chromium does issue
• Get bluetooth working, BCM4343A0.hcd this firmware

Gnome

• intel-media-driver for hardware video acceleration
• sof-firmware for audio
• caribou? Or onboard for OSD keyboard
• iio-sensor-proxy for screen orientation

Firefox one finger scrolling

cp /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
vim ~/.local/share/applications/firefox.desktop

find the Exec line in the [Desktop Entry] section and change it to

Exec=env MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 /usr/lib/firefox/firefox %u
