Hi everyone,
has anyone tried Geexbox on a tablet yet?
My plan: install Geexbox on my Viewsonic ViewPad 10s and use it as a HTPC (together with its dock)
The tablet (http://in.viewsonic.com/ph/products/viewpad/viewpad10s/specs.php) is the same as the probably more known Advent Vega (a not that high quality, but worth its money tablet based on Tegra2 harmony). It has USB-connectors and HDMI output, the only downside would be the analog only sound.
I expect the basics to work (it’s Tegra2…) , but I found nothing about a touchscreen and geexbox on the tegra platform. As well I fear the dock (I would need its USB-connectors ands the HDMI output) will not work.
If it would work it would make a nice, easily to control HTPC, if not I’ll just waste my time trying…
So what do you think? Is there a chance to get this working?

P.S.: I used Geexbox some years ago on an old box, but replaced it then by a complete linux distribution and XBMC. It’s great to see it back!

I have no tegra2 based board, so difficult to say, Davide has one but he is busy with it’s job right now …

It seems that at least some things work with ubuntu

But are there any experiences trying the install guide (http://www.geexbox.org/geexbox-for-embedded-devices-booting-on-tegra2/) on a tablet?
