Hello folks,
This is my first post here and I hope it is in the right section. I have tried searching to no avail, maybe I am not searching for the right thing. Anywho, here is my delima:
I have two computers. One is a Windows 7 Box with an AMD Phenom II X4 and is my main box. I would like to use this for everything controlling the sim (Graphics, input, etc.).
The second computer I am using is an HP TC4200 Tablet computer. It only has a single core Intel running at 2.0 Ghz and is running Ubuntu 10.10. I would like only instruments to work on this computer.
I am aware that you can set the TC4200 as the master, and then the Win7 machine a slave with the forward view. However, I don't have enough hard drive space on the TC4200 to install a full X-Plane install, it is only a 60 GB HDD, the computer really doesn't perform all that well.
Is there any software that is similar to SimAvio, that would just be a panel program for the Linux box?
If I have to set up the Linux box up as a slave cockpit and then use the keyboard on the master to adjust the altimeter and etc. that would be sufficient.
Again, any suggestions would be helpful and I apologize if I have completely missed a prior explanation.
Thanks,
Justin

I have installed the DrawingDisabler plugin on the linux computer, but it still lags. Also when using the Linux computer as the master, the Win7 slave visuals are under the runway.
