Ohhh... a big thing I also forgot to mention this IMPORTANT future use.<br><br> The $250 ($=US dollars) Nook Color tablet's<b> GPU is the PowerVR SGX530, which is OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0. </b><br><br>The Barnes & Noble android did not go all out with the "stock" drivers since it's sold as "just" an ebook reader after all... <img src="http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" class="inlineimg" border="0">), and did not provide support for OpenGL 2.0.<br>
<br>BUT... a kernel can be compiled with the correct drivers for OpenGL 2.0 and actually has already been done and is available. <br><br>My Nook Tablet is running a ROM that already has OpenGL 2.0.<br><br>So although I've not tried Ubuntu 11.04 yet (I will soon) .. its my understanding of Ubuntu Unity that the OpenGL 2.0 support should enable the full Unity capabilities without having to <br>
drop back to what Canonical is calling Unity-2D (or the classical desktop --- re gnome 2).<br><br>Brian<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 1, 2011 at 6:24 AM, brian mullan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bmullan.mail@gmail.com">bmullan.mail@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>My view is the combination of Unity (which seems to work really well so far on my 11.04 systems) will be a really good UI for tablets and finger oriented multi-touch screens.<br>So Ubuntu 11.10 could become very interesting on Tablets.<br>

I probably have no influence on armel-builds on Launchpad, but I have an influence on the X2go package build process for Debian. I have already thought to build the main area in the <a href="http://packages.x2go.org" target="_blank">packages.x2go.org</a> repos for armel, as well. I use qemubuilder for build the packages, so I could basically build for any available architecture. It will take time (qemu software emulation), but it will work (and my build machine is quite smart).<div>

Really? x2goclient should not be in the armel repositories. Where did you actually install from. Maybe the old location on <a href="http://obviously-nice.de?" target="_blank">obviously-nice.de?</a>??<br>

*p x2goserver - x2go server daemon scripts*<br>

pyhoca-gui is arch-independent and should also be available. As there is an old version of nxproxy in Ubuntu you should actually be able to run pyhoca-gui on armel. Could you please try that (apt-get install pyhoca-gui).<br>

I didn't really get the last part. Concrete question, maybe also to Reinhard: is there a possibility to build armel packages on Ubuntu launchpad?<br>
