General Tasks

List of other general tasks I am working on:

Tablet PCs

I wrote my diploma thesis about Tablet PCs and Linux. Now I work on better support of Tablet PCs and integrate the results of my thesis in SUSE Linux.

At last I added for SUSE 10.1/SLES 10/SLED 10 I added more support for Tablet PCs in HAL. This include better detection and an addon to set the serial port for the Wacom Tablet automatically.

At the moment I work on some SAX2 rules for a generic setup for Tablet PCs with a Wacom device.

The first place to start with Tablet PCs should be the page about TabletPCs in the wiki.

If you need some help to get you Tablet PC running feel free to ask me.
