Ubuntu Tablet and Big Screen
============================

Today I wnated to try to do something on my Ubuntu tablet (the bq Aquaris M10
Ubuntu Edition, that is). So I connected my 24" HP LCD to the tablet (via the
microHDMI->HDMI cable).

Well, nothing happened but it may be caused also by my LCD (which is far from
perfect and does such things with other devices, too). After bunch of reboots I
have managed to get the image.

I can understand that the tablet is probably not able to send anything better
than 1920x1080 via the HDMI. The only stupid thing is than the internal screen
is 1920x1200 (just like the big LCD) and the UI is a bit confused by that. One
of the effects is that when I change the screen then application forgot their
last size and do start in a very small window (about 160x160, I think).

But ther are real issues (after the OTA-15 update):
* the fonts are scaled down and are REALLY UGLY (jagged and so)
* some (actually: most of them)  applications fail shortly after start
  (including most of build-in applications like the WWW browser, the Dekko
  e-mail client, the Terminal and more). However X11 applications work OK.

So it is useless as a desktop with attached external monitor. But such kind of
use was the main goal of the Ubuntu's Convergence, wasn't it?

If I remember correctly, the whole thing worked better before the latest bugfix
update.

So: It is OK to surf WWW on the tablet. It is OK to read Wikipedia (even
offline) on the tablet. But it is stupid to think that one can do real work on
the tablet. Even it that damn thing runs unix-like OS.
