General Configuration
Hardware
There are two variants of the Tablet PC currently in use by the physics department, the older HP/Compaq tc1100 and the newer HP/Compaq tc4200. The major differences between the two tablets are the color scheme, hard-drive size, video card, and processor.
Item | tc1100 | tc4200 |
---|---|---|
Color Scheme | Silver | Black |
Hard-Drive | 40 GB | 60 GB |
Graphics Card | NVidia GeForce 4 Go | Intel 900 |
Processor | Intel Pentium M 753 1.20 GHz | Intel Pentium M 750 1.86 GHz |
Display | 10.4" TFT XGA | 12.1" TFT XGA |
USB Ports | 2 | 3 |
TV Out | No | Yes |
Wireless Card | ipw2100 (a/b/g) | ipw2200 (b/g) |
Partitions
The hard-drives on the tablets are partitioned into several pieces in order to accomedate the dual-boot setup. The Linux and Windows Operating systems are both allocated 10 GB of space and there is an additional 10 GB FAT32 partition accessible by both operating systems, any additional space is left unpartitioned and can be used by the students in any way they see fit.
Linux Device | First Cylinder | Last Cylinder | Allocated Blocks | Filesystem Id | Filesystem Name |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
/dev/hda1 | 1 | 1217 | 9775521 | 7 | HPFS/NTFS |
/dev/hda2 | 1218 | 2434 | 9775552+ | 83 | Linux |
/dev/hda3 | 2435 | 2496 | 498015 | 82 | Linux swap / Solaris |
/dev/hda4 | 2497 | 7296 | 38556000 | 5 | Extended |
/dev/hda5 | 2497 | 3712 | 9765976+ | b | W95 FAT32 |

Linux Partition Configuration
Unsupported Features
Under Linux there are a couple of tablet features that are unsupported. Currently the pen "hotkey" buttons are unusable on both tablets, though this should be available in the future. Also, the screen rotation feature is currently unsupported on both types of tablet.
Configured Software
The Linux partition of the tablets has a large selection of software configured by default, including several proprietary packages that cannot be freely distributed or downloaded.
This is a preliminary list, please update as necessary. |
