Enlightenment Desktop on Linux Powered ArchOS ARM Tablet

[colonelsurge]

any chance you could make a video on how to install this?, thanks

[Jeffhoogland]

@colonelsurge Due to a number of driver issues I am no longer working on the ArchOS device. The install instructions are the same as Debian.

Pretty cool vid. I wouldn't mind trying this out but I've only got a Nook Color. Any plans to port to it soon? (Understandably, you're probably way more involved with the Archos tablets right now.)

[Jeffhoogland]

@cincibluer6 Find out if you can install Debian on said device. I plan to set up Bodhi for ARM as more a Debian expansion so it will be easier to install on a variety of embedded devices.

[cincibluer6]

@Jeffhoogland Will do. I'm not sure anybody has figured it out just yet. I know Meego was supposedly getting somewhere but I haven't heard of it lately (though I believe it runs with .rpm IIRC). Good news though. I'll certainly check into it.

@Jeffhoogland I know you can get Ubuntu on it (which is just Debian), so I don't see why not...

[TheSniperofDeath]

@Jeffhoogland does Linux have the drivers for the g9 series? What kernel version and drives does the Bodhi ARM release have?

[ArkBlitz]

I like what I see there! With enough polishing, it may as well compete with Android!

PS: If you're going to use Iceweasel instead of Firefox, at least change it by Icecat. Like Iceweasel but freer ;D

How do you make the screen landscape?

[Jeffhoogland]

@TheNickhis Screen rotation is still on the TODO list. The screen does landscape by default on the ArchOS 70

[TheNickhis]

@Jeffhoogland I appreciate that you're working on screen rotation, since the rotation isn't a very necessary feature because the bigger internet tablets are the best for such operating systems.

Great demo :) Is there multi touch?

[Manguitom]

@sk8rked None yet ;)

I'd gladly be a beta tester with my A70H ;) sadly I dk how to mount the img...
