Hi Everyone, I've been lurking on this site for awhile, trying to decide which tablet pc to buy. I decided on the Fujitsu for a variety of reasons, including the processing speed and not wanting to go with a Transmeta. I haven't had it for long, but I don't think it's quite ready for primetime to replace my laptop.
The main issues I'm having is with the video drivers. The ultimate for me would be to dock the slate, have my 17" monitor take over as the primary screen and the tablet be secondary. When I take the tablet off the dock, I'd like everything to return to normal, with the tablet being the primary with no secondary monitor. There seem to be 2 main issues with this:
1. Changing how a secondary monitor will work with the tablet is a monumental effort. A lot of clicks and cancels to make it work right. I can understand that it might be impossible for the driver to save your settings one way when it's docked and another when it is not, but it sure isn't user friendly. In addition, if you don't set things back right before you undock, everything crashes. Do you think there are any efforts to get this interface fixed? Am I asking too much for this to work?
2. The video driver doesn't support 1280x1024 very well. The LCD screen is fuzzy. I know it's not my monitor because it's crisp when I hook it up to a different source. I'll be putting in an email to Fujitsu to see if there will be a fix to this soon.
Does anyone have any slick solutions to either of these?
