XO-1.75 1B1 has eMMC instead of microSD as internal storage, but does have an external SD slot. Carlos has Bonnie which doesn't work with external SD cards. Clyde reports 1B2 and external sdcards do work. From memory, on Bonnie, the card goes in a short way and stops, but I was at an airport when I tried this and I don't quite remember what was wrong (it might have gone in and nearly got lost, I can't remember). ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Yes, my VAXstation 4000/VLC did that, I was just looking at it this evening, to figure out the specs of the power supply in case I might re-use it. I would like the XO to drop back to firmware or power off in response to halt. I don't plan to change this myself though. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
re: XO-1.75 power testing
Will reflash Bonnie, the 1.75 1B1 after the auckland game developer meetup do power testing on latest 11.3.1 build, mostly for read standbye, hibernate etc times. Tried running it idle the other day in Sugar overnight in idle. After some time, it automatically went into hibernate (blinking LED), and then when I woke up in the morning, it had shut down, but still had quite some juice in the battery, something I found curious. This was yum updated though. Was this on purpose or a glitch? -- carlos nazareno http://twitter.com/object404 http://www.object404.com ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

We don't do hibernate. Hibernate saves active state to file on your storage media and powers off then reloads the file on boot. We only do suspend. We call it suspend because its suspend-to-ram in ACPI speak. I've been calling it ASR or agressive suspend/resume because most systems only suspend when you close the lid or after it sits idle for a long time. But we have our settings measured in seconds rather than minutes. Tried running it idle the other day in Sugar overnight in idle. After some time, it automatically went into hibernate (blinking LED), ASR not hibernate. and then when I woke up in the morning, it had shut down, but still had quite some juice in the battery, something I found curious. Was this on purpose or a glitch? On purpose. Default powerd config will wake up and turn off the machine if its been in-suspend for 4 hours. -- Richard A.
