We had a positioning problem with the jack on the B1's that was fixed in subsequent revisions. We do have code that tries to detect cable jitter and not kick of hotplug events accordingly. Of course if the cable itself is flaky then there isn't much we can do about that.

Power Manager should be disabling fast S/R if the hdmi connection is detected this is just to keep the external display from blanking continuously. I have been running hdmi with suspend/resume enabled for some time now and have not seen any adverse effects. I will have to test this with a vanilla 13.2.0 install. *snip* Thanks for the dmesg output. I will note that we found with some Dell monitors you needed to go into the config and set the monitor to video mode instead of computer mode. I will try to keep everyone posted on the continued HDMI progress as free time permits me to work on it. -Jon ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

[Server-devel] Attempting to upgrade XO 1.5 firmware. Says activation lease not found
Hi, I haven't done this in quite some time. I attempted to install the latest OS release from a USB, but it complained about the NAND. So, I attempted to upgrade the firmware from a USB, and it complained about the activation lease. So, remembering I had a /security/developer.sig hanging around from long ago, I tried that. No joy.

As designed, this then goes and looks for an activation lease or developer key, and fails. (it wouldn't have upgraded the firmware from the .rom even if you made it happy with the appropriate lease/key) Ah. Thanks for the details. I was following the instructions at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Upgrading_firmware#Details:_Upgrading Details: Upgrading Once you have prepared the USB drive above, you must: * make sure the XO battery is in place and locked, * make sure the XO power cord and adapter are plugged in, the battery indicator must be on, * insert the USB drive into the XO, * hold down the X game key, and * turn on the XO. * Watch for a couple minutes. The upgrade process will begin, with several messages displayed, then the XO will automatically restart, once or twice. Wait for the XO to finish restarting, then: * remove the USB drive. * Test to confirm that the XO now works normally. Anyway, no manual firmware upgrade should be necessary. Lets figure out why the reflashing doesn't work. Thanks No, thank you! Especially for being patient. ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org

Incorrect. The release notes describe holding down all four keys above the power button. I agree with Daniel that you might have sufficiently old firmware to require renaming the file from fs1.zip to fs.zip. That should be your next action.
