OS-X Tablet Edition DVD idea.

[Ferret-Simpson]

AS of yet I'm aware that thee difference between a standard OS X install and a TabletPC install isn't great, but I was thinking - after things get a little hairier, such as with the Fujitsu PCI fixes, the various Audio Codecs and serial port ID's, would it be a good idea to create a fully updated version of OS X as a TabletPC installer DVD?

 

System support suggestions:

 

The Speedstep enabled Semthex intel kernels,

A full Serial Port driver with all known Port ID's entered under their own sections,

A full AppleHDA for all known Audio configurations,

Custom version of TabletMagic better integrated into OS X - Maybe allowing for TabletMagic itself to be installed separately to control external tablets,

The modified Power Management bundle,

Support for Tricky hardware busses - e.g. T421X PCI,

Custom default display driver to allow display rotation and brightness control,

Modified driver to support all three Maxell Yukon2 Variants,

Additional drivers for all Non-Apple-Standard Tablet Hardware,

Button Panel Drivers for models equipped with Fascia controls,

Screen rotation autodetection,

Inkwell hard-enabled by default,

Custom keyboard Layouts and layout creation tool,

 

Additional package suggestions:

The Gimp - Native Aqua version when available, as supports pressure sensitivity,

OpenOffice for Aqua (Not neooffice) - To replace good old Appleworks,

Custom Artwork package - To differentiate you from the average OS X Laptop,

MACAM - To support integrated Webcams and external USB imaging sources,

Fingerprint ID and Smart Card control software to interface with Security hardware.

well if you find someone to write all those drivers you're asking for, maybe.

 

Might as well buy a modbook or whatever that thing is called.
