[Sugar-devel] OLPC OS on Zync Z930 Tablet

[Johnson Chetty]

Hey,

Yes... we're working on getting Sugar on the tablet form factor.
We're looking at compiling Sugar for an armv7 chip based tablet. (Allwinner
A10 chip- armhf ). There are many cheap tablets flooding the market here in
India, so we thought it is a good idea to get Sugar on them.
Would be quite cost effective, (not in the long run though, none of them
are as sturdy as the XOs)
Getting the touch screen  and multi-touch capabilities in linux are
seemingly a problem here.
If anyone is working on the linux/environment configuration for the new
XOs, would love to get some technical guidance for this..
