said Thierry de Coulon: | OK, so after some time trying I can come back with the following | results: | | While Linux does run on the Sony Vaio Tap11, this machine is not | reliable. I had a lot of difficulties getting things to run correctly - | and the (second hand) machine ended hanging itself (battery problem | seems). And as the battery is not removable and the reset did not | work... | | The Microsoft Surface Pro 2, on the other hand, works better than I ever | dreamed. I have got: | | - Windows 10 pro "working". I don't like the OS but it's clearly more | advanced than Linux on the "touch" side. I keep it for some PDF editing | and because it's one of the "official" OSes at work (our IT people know | nothing about Linux so they pretend it can't work for them). | | - Debian 9 with everything working except screen calibration when | rotated. I still have to work on that one. Touchscreen, active pen, | suspend and hibernate (over systemctl) working. | | - To do this I had to deactivate secure boot, so I get a red "surface" | screen at boot (never mind). Debian boots from grub2 but I installed | refind to have a touch enabled boot screen and that works. | | - I had problems because the Linux GUI does not let me enable palm | rejection. I found a script that does that, but the pen's xinput ID | changes frequently. I ended up writing a small tcl/tk app that lets me | enable / disable the touchscreen, so now I can annotate pdfs on the | screen (unfortunately only in landscape mode). | | -Trinity work well in touch mode if you increase fonts and icons a | little. Not the most beautiful screen ever but I can live with it. | | Thierry This is wonderful news -- thanks very much!
