I started with DSL Embedded on my Toshiba Portege 3500. Everything works but it's not sure what to do with the touchscreen and it won't right click (Probably, the touchscreen.)
If I can get this running then I am going to use Partition Magic to resize my Windows Partition and then dual boot DSL 3.4 with it. I don't use Linux much but do run into a situation where I need it.
Anyone have idea how to make the touchscreen work right? If I get the Stylus close to the screen using Embedded it will jump around really bad.
Thanks in advance!That's probably due to you running it under qemu.Maybe - but a suitable driver and XFree86/xorg will probably be required to get the touchscreen working fully.

I'm not exactly worried about the touchscreen working. I can still run windows if I need tablet mode. The whole idea is to find a way to make it understand or just ignore the tablet.
I'm pretty sure it's not right clicking because it's seeing the tablet as part of the mouse. Does Qemu use any windows drivers to run? If so can I take the mouse driver out?The Toshiba Portege 3500's tablet screen is actually a wacom tablet. It's fully supported by a full install of X, so I imagine one of the Xorg/X11 extensions in the mydsl repository should get you up and running with a bit of configuration.
For what it's worth, I have the same model and use it daily with Ubuntu.Next Page...
