Yes. And the proper way of doing write-anyway, i18n-correct
handwriting recognition. And the window manager would have extension
that put the dialog away from the stylus like MS TPC extension.

Yes. But nv doesn't accellerate in portraite mode anyway.
Do you know why XFree86 drivers don't support Xrandr rotaion?
They (vesa and nv, at least) support rotation, but you have to
turn randr off. However, they all support resize dynamically thru
Xrandr! I can't understand this!

It's a Compaq utility used to do everything other Notebook do using
buttons, like adjust screen brightness, switch screens and adjust volumn.
I'd like to make linux support tc1000 naturally. That'd mean to support
as many features as possible. The Q menu is just a piece of software
(tc1000 doesn't do anything in hardware :-) We can have it if HP open
the source to us or just give us the specification.
Possible?
