Re: Holy Crap! My mount actually worked

That picture of the CF-19 with the UAV controller on NBR gave me an idea. Why not go around the very edge of the Toughbook with 3/4" or 1" square tubing. Kinda box it in and it would eliminate all the edges, Then you would just have to deal with the corners, maybe grind and fill to round t...

Re: "Federal Only" Toughbooks

I just got a Federal Only CF-29FTTGXKM. Lower half only. Bought it for parts but it was nice so I added a upper half. No self control. Concerning the Wifi: The cables were in place but disconnected and nicely wrapped with Kapton tape. No Wifi card. Hooked it all up, both white wires to keyboard pcb,...

Ubuntu 10.10

See the updated post in NBR on Ubuntu 10.10 by H-Bert. I believe he indicated this was the only tweak needed for his CF-30. Is it o.k. to cut and paste 'cross forum'? CF-30 ubuntu 10.10 - lcd brightness control: edit /etc/default/grub sudo gedit /etc/default/grub add "acpi_osi=" to this li...

Re: Ubuntu 10.10 The closest yet for CF-29 Toughbook

Be careful. Do not upgrade through the package manager at this time. The Black Screen of death will occur. The results of conflicting files in the 10.04 and 10.10. I'm still for a fresh install of 10.10 either singly or dual boot. Working fine on two or three computers. I'm also re-booting the blac...

My feeling is that the earlier Touchscreen related files are fighting. :swords: More as I figure it out. Maybe install new version alongside old and cut and paste files. (/HOME etc) The instal...

Ubuntu 10.10 The closest yet for CF-29 Toughbook

Ubuntu 10.10 was released on 10/10/10. So two days later what do we have? I used Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop Edition 1. Hotkeys work out of the box. 2. Touchscreen works out of the box but a little off. (I'll get to that) 3. Slightly faster boot time. 4. Video works with no mucking around. 5. Touchpad very...
