I loaded Mint 13 Xfce onto a CF-18MK2. Got the TS calibrated and the touchpad set proper. Has anyone got the tablet buttons and the Hotkey buttons working on a CF-18? I read through the thread from 2009 on loading Ubuntu onto a CF-18, but didn't think it is relevent 4 yrs later. Any pointers/help? Thanks.

Life's Journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn-out shouting 'Woo Hoo! What a ride!

Motorsports - the only real sport. If it doesn't have a motor, it is just a game.

There is always something waiting at the end of the road, if you are not willing to see what it is, you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place.

Sorry the long time between posts. I thought the mods were going to move some posts in to this thread.

So far I have had Unbutu 9.04, 10.10 and curently Mint 13.

Unbunu was ok and I some of the front buttons working but i could not get new enough browser for what I need to do with it. That led me to mint 13 LTS I had the touch screen calibated and running well but no front buttons and that is were I am at now.
