Windows 8 Developer Preview HP Touchsmart tx2

A fully functional tx2 running Windows 8 Dev preview.

Touchscreen drivers were downloaded from n-trig's website, extracted from the setup executable with Universal Extractor, and installed by running DPInst in the resulting subfolder.

How is the battery life?

[360MegaBits]

@Randalldan The battery life on my tx2 has always been kind of poor, I would say I get about 2-3 hours.

Congratulations!

Just one question... And how about the resolution? Is it 1280x800? Or another one? Thanks

[360MegaBits]

@denysfformiga Yes, the resolution is 1280x800

where did u find touchscreen drivers....!! i want to enable multitouch in windows 8 on hp dv6 3053tx .....plz mention the link ..of touchscreen drivers for windows 8 32 bit..!!!

@EvaneZCenTe Yeah I found that too. It's just a small bug that I'm sure will be fixed upon release. But the tx2 in particular...the touch screen is a little buggy to begin with. When it's in tablet mode, I have to be careful not to touch the bezel too much or else it'll start clicking randomly (false clicks as you say). When in laptop mode, touching the back of the screen will cause clicks too. Really frustrating.

i have multible boot.

multitouch doesn't works like i want, it haves false clicks.

@360MegaBits I might install it on my tx2. Is windows 8 pretty functional/bug free currently?

[Melodality]

Well done, though I can't manage to do the same on my tx2. It's strange but when I installed windows 8 the touchscreen was working fine, I just don't have pinch zoom and when I play the piano app, there is no multitouch, I've installed the drivers but everything is the same, no difference, the only weird thing I've noticed is that when I install the drivers as in your guide, the last one fails to install but the installation finishes up. have no idea what to do, tried reinstalling but it's same

Justo acabo de revivir mi tx2, muchas gracias por esto ahora tengo los drivers correctos..

[supergodoffunk]

Nice job. Just installed it on my TX2 as well. Thanks for the Driver install info.  Now I need to figure out the how to make the rotate button work. (The physical button next to the screen. I believe it was controlled by the HP software).

[denysfformiga]

hey man, it works! Thanks a lot.

@360MegaBits Thank you very much! I will try.

[denysfformiga]

What version are you using? x86 or x64? With developers tool? How did you installed the driver of ntrig if there is just a version for Windows 7, did you use the compatiblity mode? Thank you
