Re: XO-1.5 DSDT: enable THRM# GPIO (ebook) by default

2010-12-05 Thread Mitch Bradley
I know very little about how ebook detection works on Windows. There is a magic Windows driver that does that stuff, and we don't have much insight into its inner workings. The only thing I can suggest is to test it. On 12/4/2010 5:20 AM, Daniel Drake wrote: Hi Mitch, With this DSDT

Build 852 vs Dextrose

We are in the midst of assessing the image that will go on the 115 XO 1.5 we have in Jamaica. Should we stick with 852 or should we go to Dextrose? I remember seeing the Samoa project being upgraded to Dextrose (Tabitha cc'd). Are there any major advantages to Dextrose? Keep in mind that both

BTW, the card is a Sandisk 4GiB Class 2, bought used on eBay. First one bought for installing OSs, going stronger where others have failed with a lot less use. Approximately 1GiB is free, not touching the NAND for anything other than testing new XO OS releases. Tiago On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 12:25
