Help making Mint12 tablet-friendly

Postby godsotherhand on Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:56 pm

Noticed mint12 RC came out so i installed it on my tablet(because of the gnome3), but i see that despite gnome3 is perfect for tablets, mint 12 is not.

I am not that good in linux, so could any1 help me to get my mint12 installation easyer to use?

1)First of all, could any1 help me make the onscreen keyboard come up when i need it? cand figure out how to get it on my screen, so im stuck at using the keyboard that came with the tablet (Im using the acer w500 ).

2)also, login has no virtual keyboard..

3) i cant right click. Can i set a gesture to right click? Like in windows, where if u hold ur finger in the same place for 5 sec it means right click..

4) help me enable multy-touch and the Gsensor, as they dont work (found a ubuntu how-to for multytouch, but it fails to work for me..)

Any recomandations would be greatly appreciated.

Gnome 3 and therefore Mint 12 is not intended to be a tablet OS.
