Just figured out thanks to a posting on the OlpcNews how to run the XO (running Ubuntu) in tablet mode without a keyboard or mouse.

Instead you use the arrow keys on the left side of the screen and the game keys on the left for clicking and use an on-screen keyboard.

If anyone is interested I'll post how to do it.

===================================
Also, about the Capn Voyager I have been unable to get a GPS working with it. The error I'm getting is well documented on the Wine Forums but unable to find a fix. It would have been nice to have it work because there are a lot of Maptech charts out there for areas that don't have BSB charts.
