You can use an Amazon Fire Tablet. Wait until Prime Day when they are
cheap.
add -height x -width x to the firefox command line to set the firefox
window size. As for touch. Look at /var/log/Xorg.log to see if it's
detecting your input devices. Also set the environment variable
MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 before starting firefoxThis will make firefox

I would never trust one of those cheap Chinese knockoff tablets.

It works fine, but a bit slow on a 3B+. And no keyboard for text entry.
There are a few Firefox tweaks to get rid of the url bar and tabs. I
have upgraded versions of Firefox built that perform better, but not
good enough for me.
A rpi4 is probably going to work much better.

i've tried with graphic-5.10 77-pcpCore-v8.tcz

ok first question Paul
you said
Install the graphics-KERNEL extension from the pCP repo.
I see graphic-5.10 77-pcpCore-v8.tcz and graphic-5.10 44-pcpCore-v8.tcz
but not the one you mention?

whilst i don't disagree, i think PcP is so lightweight that it should
cope happily. My current solution is 2 separate Pis, one for playback
and one for running material. Confusing the wife with multiple
interfaces for the same product never ends well :(

Installing Xorg and Firefox or any browser would mean a rather large
Since I maintain the aarch64 version of piCore, I should be more versed
in the Xorg stuff, but one of the other guys does the X stuff. Never
had an interest, as my pies are mostly headless. But the speed of the
rpi4 and material skin is pretty nice. I have a 7" rpi screen sitting
around, I

With pCP, we only run a framebuffer. Any web browser is going to
require a Xorg. While running Xorg is possible on piCore, it's a whole
different level of complexity.

Yes, I know that you knew that. My post was in response to another
response to your post. *That* respondent didn't seem know that.

I'm aware its not exactly PnP as a browser extension would need to be
installed and I beleive xsessions, but I also don't think its
impossible.
So has anyone figured out how to get Material in a browser onto a
picoreplayer install? It makes Jivelite look very dated, so would be
nice to do
