Summary
Actually, this tablet isn't well supported by distributions, but may become so.
I tried it with ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 livecd.
ubuntu 12.10 (daily built, 2012-06-14): startup stuck on a persistent modprobe error
ubunutu 12.04: works well, after little change:
edit /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”poulsbo.blacklist=yes console=tty1 sdhci.debug_quirks=4″
Discussion
Loaded Xubuntu 13.04. You have to run the commands on Sebastian Mogilowskis blog to fix the Atheros card. The system runs very fast and makes what was an unusable tablet usable.
Were you able to get rotation working Tim?
Rear facing webcam functions and tested using Cheese Webcam Booth
Ubuntu 13.04 works in it, however there is a problem with hardware acceleration (as in none). Makes it seem a lot slower and sluggish then it actually is.
