[Gvsig_english] Experiences with gvSIG and gvSIGMobile on ultramobile PCs

[Joseph Reeves]

We've been running the OA Digital version of gvSIG [1] on the Ubuntu
version of a Dell Mini 9 laptop. I had planned to post on my blog
about it, but never got round to it. It's all very impressive,
however, both the hardware and the software, and I'd certainly
recommend the combination to anyone looking to do some mobile-ish GIS.

> I'd like to share with other gvSIG users these gorgeous screenshots of gvSIG
> Desktop and gvSIG Mobile running on a 4G Surf eeePC (ultramobile PC 7''
> 800x480 Screen, 900 MHz Intel Celeron Processor, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB HD, Linux)

> gvSIG Desktop works just fine, even though there are some issues with the
> screen size -some menus overflowing the screen space- so you better run it
> in full screen mode and will have to use ALT+LEFT CLICK sometimes to move
> the window and scroll to the hidden buttons. These screenshots are captured
> in full screen mode -no border, the menu remains hidden and is accessible
> using the ALT key:
