    It’s just fixed. Here I copy the last notes:
    This is my experience so far on a Teclast X98 Plus A5C8:
    – with Linux kernel 4.4.4 I can’t get to compile+install the patches for Realtek 8723BS. But it boots to the graphical interface.
    – with Linux kernel 4.2.X I can compile+install the patches for Realtek 8723BS, BS_BT, etc. But it doesn’t boot the graphical interface.
    – I am also trying the beta 16.04 and it can compile the patches with 4.4.4 kernel but then I can’t boot to the graphical interface…
    – Kernel 4.4.6 doesn’t boot the graphical interface on 14.04 neither 🙁

    ** What works on 4.4.4 kernel and XJubuntu 14.04:
    – USB Gigaethernet/WiFi cards in general
    – USB keyboard/mouse
    – USB pendrives/hard disks/card readers
    – HDMI out and tablet screen at the same time (extended display or mirror)
    – Screen Brightness change
    – Touchscreen
    – internal Bluetooth

    ** What works but needs improvements:
    – You can rotate the screen but the touchscreen doesn’t rotate accordingly, it needs manual adjustements…
    – Access to eMMC internal flash but the Android partitions are giving me some errors when I try to modify them from gparted, etc.
    – You can install the distro on intenal eMMC and/or external USB drives. The problem comes when it finishes the install, it gives this error message:
    “The ‘grub-efi-amd64-signed’ package failed to install into /target/ . Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.” Probably it needs to install the 32 bits EFI. I am looking for some workaround for this. And trying “Boot Repair”

    ** What doesn’t work on 4.4.4:
    – internal WiFi
    – microSD card slot access (I’ve only tried a 128GB Samsung Evo Plus) and BIOS from 15/01/2016. Maybe other cards or upgrading BIOS…
    – battery charge info

    With XJubuntu TAB you can choose to login on Unity or XFCE. Unity is better for tablet/touch mode but XFCE performs better for desktop usage with mouse/keyboard. XFCE is more customizable and faster, specially on low-power hardware like tablets.

    4.4.4 kernel supports Realtek Bluetooth, touchscreens, rotation, etc. The changelog looks promising: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4.4-wily/CHANGES
    Larry Finger (8):
    rtlwifi: rtl_pci: Fix kernel panic
    rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Add missing parameter setup
    rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix handling of module parameters
    rtlwifi: rtl8192de: Fix incorrect module parameter descriptions
    rtlwifi: rtl8723ae: Fix initialization of module parameters
    rtlwifi: rtl8192se: Fix module parameter initialization
    rtlwifi: rtl8188ee: Fix module parameter initialization
    rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Fix module parameter initialization
    It’s just missing rtl8723bs!!! 🙁

    The XJubuntu distro has UEFI enabled 32 / 64 bits and you can remaster your own customized copy thanks to Pinguy Builder. So the liveCD/pendrive will boot with no problems on UEFI 32/64 systems. The problem is when you try to install GRUB later on…

    Please try installing it on your tablets and let me know what works and what doesn’t, or what would you change. Or change it yourself and make it work for your tablets. And then publish your new distro!
    You can download it here:
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/xjubuntu/files/Tablets%20Intel/

    XJubuntu is an optimized remix of Ubuntu+Xubuntu with some useful and common programs pre-installed. More info: https://xjesus.net/xjubuntu/intro/

    Popcorntime + Spotify + blockify
    WPS Office + LibreOfffice
    Firefox + Chrome + useful addons (anti-adds, etc.) + flash
    Nomacs + Pinta + Gimp + Instagram effects + XNview + OpenShot video editor
    Wine + PlayonLinux + Steam + Virtualbox + Dropbox + Teamviewer + …
    All kind of codecs, tweaks and tools that you can find in webs like webupd8.org

    *** After install you may still need to select your language/keyboard and reboot.

    Thanks for your feedback!

     

    Please follow up on this post so everybody can share his experience on his tablet:

    I tested the last and at first doesn´t work. I need to write nomodeset and finally starts. But when the desktop is starting the screen freezes and i can´t do nothing. The mouse doesn´t  work and i try to change to TTY with ALT+CTRL + FX and nothing happens.

     

    PD: jesus_manuel_marin_navarro he visto que estas trabajando en la distro y que hablas español, soy informatico con experiencia en linux con la tablet disponible. Asi que si te puedo echar una mano mandame un privado, actualmente me ocurre lo q he descrito.

    Hi, is it possible to post the .deb files of the compiled and patched kernel?

    I would try pressing “e” in the grub menu and changing the words “quiet splash” by “video=1920×1200@60”

    Or trying other screen resolutions…

    Could you also try the distros with “standard vanilla kernels” and tell me if it works? Please try Ubuntu/Xubuntu and/or my XJubntu with normal kernel to check if the problem is the kernel or something in my distro.

    Thanks!

    Sure! There was already a link on XJUbuntab web page, and now I’ve uploaded to SourceForge as welll…

    install the .debs with

    sudo dpkg -i linux-h*

    sudo dpkg -i linux*

     

    Then extract&copy the RTL8723bs-master to some folder, enter and type “sudo make install”, “sudo depmod -a”

    Then you need to type

    “sudo /sbin/modprobe r8723bs”

    And check if there is some message typing “dmesg” , you should see something like

    [  197.269272] Non-volatile memory driver v1.3

    [ 2384.212036] RTL8723BS: module init start

    [ 2384.212042] RTL8723BS: rtl8723bs v4.3.5.5_12290.20140916_BTCOEX20140507-4E40

    [ 2384.212044] RTL8723BS: rtl8723bs BT-Coex version = BTCOEX20140507-4E40

    Well, after several tests, now it works. I don’t know why, i think it was copied badly to my pendrive. Now run, but only with nomodeset option. I have tried change video to several resolutions and changing hz to 78 (when boot options shows this hz), but nothing. The system works correctly, but the tools doesn’t work, the rotate of screen doesn’t work with the scripts and the wifi doesn’t work. Also I have tried running modprobe directly from console, but nothing.
