It's ain the Salaxy SIII, it has opensource drivers too, but they don't seem complete yet. There are binary ones though. The Mali-400 is

<div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px;"> Well, without such a tablet in our hands we cannot make sure it is possible to install Plasma Active on it. The first thing to know is if the boot loader is open (allows to add a new kernel to boot). Then you need to find a suitable image that at least allows you to run Xorg, maybe one of the images listed in http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Installation already works, but we need to test them first. After that you would need find the correct drivers for the GPU (OpenGL is kind of required by Plasma Active), wifi, sound, etc. But again: without the tablet in our hands we cannot do the tests, so you would need to do them yourself. </div>
