Feb 17 22:30:27 <krushia> can someone point me in the right direction of getting something, anything, on a 15 year old x86 tablet for the sole purpose of having a sketchpad and ebook reader?
Feb 17 22:31:19 <krushia> i've been trying to build gpe for it for days using gentoo, but matchbox and xorg have needed patch after patch and i'm about given up
Feb 17 22:31:21 <krushia> oh
Feb 17 22:31:24 <krushia> http://wayback.archive.org/web/20060411211544/http://www.viewsonic.com/support/mobilewireless/tabletpc/viewpad1000/
Feb 17 22:31:30 <krushia> the device in questio n
Feb 17 22:33:41 <krushia> all i want is to turn the device on, be able to read documents, and be able to scribble drawings/notes
Feb 17 22:33:49 <krushia> it seems like a simple task
Feb 17 22:34:57 <krushia> i already have a kernel and posix userspace
Feb 17 22:36:24 <krushia> finding a gui for my two needs that BUILDS and FOR X86 and IS NOT TRYING TO BE ANDROID has proven to be very hard here in 2015
Feb 17 22:37:35 <kirun> Hey, something else came with XP tablet edition that isn't the old laptops at work.
Feb 17 22:42:58 <krushia> when i bought it off ebay it didn't have a hard drive... i no experience with windows on it either
Feb 17 22:44:44 <kirun> Well, I'm assuming it's the tablet edition, but that's basically regular XP with pre-installed virtual keyboard and some handwriting recognition that doesn't work.
Feb 17 22:45:08 <krushia> the sticker on the back actually says windows 2000
Feb 17 22:46:49 <krushia> so, where i'm at now is i have everything but a gpe/matchbox/qtopia/qte/asdf/jkl; windowing system for it
Feb 17 22:47:51 <krushia> i've discovered several projects for building a whole image for an embedded device
Feb 17 22:47:58 <krushia> but all i want is the damn gui
Feb 17 22:48:18 <kirun> Have you tried anything like LXDE?
Feb 17 22:49:02 <krushia> i have, yes
Feb 17 22:49:54 <krushia> but i figured it would take much more work to get lxde and normal desktopy things to the point where they are stylus-friendly
Feb 17 22:50:11 <krushia> than to just get something made out of the box that way
Feb 17 22:50:56 <kirun> Well at least you could get to a point you know X works, the stylus works, etc.
Feb 17 22:56:12 <kirun> It's kind of a trade off between finding something light enough to use and popular enough somebody already fixed your problems.
Feb 17 22:58:23 <krushia> indeed
