<pre>Hi, did you ever get this problem solved?
I have the same on ODYS WinTab 8 with Intel Atom Baytrail-T Z3735E CPU.
Any(tried many different distro including all ubuntu, slacko(and other puppy),
android, phoenix, remix, x86) linux boots, then end up in black screen - If I
add nomodeset to grub.cfg on the LiveUSB(made with Unetbootin) then it boots
into desktop - but then I can't change resolution or rotation. If I remove
nomodeset and add i915.modeset=0 then its the same - still can't rotate or
change resolution.

rotation is there but not working either. This doesn't work on Unity, gnome,
xubuntu - I have not tried Lubuntu or MATE.

It is not possible to get
I worked on this problem and some other ones with this tablet(sound, wi-fi
bluetooth), for over 2½ month. Bluetooth and wi-fi works in linuxium - sound do
not.
My effort on getting slacko to work on this can be followed below, that page
also have hardware list:
