 Do you mean http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/VMWare-8.2-767-bf.zip? The
 image file is Virtual Disk-flat.vmdk, right?

 To use it in Qemu you
 would have to change the xorg config to use the vesa driver, not the
 vmware one.

 How? Oh, I see the first step. qemu-img for converting formats. Let's
 get all this into the Wiki, shall we?

 OK, I made it into a qcow2 file, which boots to the command line and
 stops, and has too big a window. I assume that there are a few further
 steps missing in the conversion.


Don't know.  Alternatively someone could redo the steps I outlined  
using Qemu rather than VMWare.

Qemu doesn't work either. A problem about 3dnow. I don't see a fix or
workaround anywhere.

 Could you please enter a ticket in dev.sugarlabs.org with the files in
 ~/.sugar/default/logs attached?

Done. Ticket #150.

Sorry about the delay. Usual excuses about trying to do too many things at once.

 Thanks,

 Tomeu

Ah, here it is. You dropped a letter.

http://croquetweak.blogspot.com/2008/12/emulating-latest-stable-olpc-xo.html

So, can you upload the working image to a server somewhere, and put
the information in the Wiki? Then we can see whether it works in
Ubuntu Linux.

That blog post does link to the working image. To use it in Qemu you  
would have to change the xorg config to use the vesa driver, not the  
vmware one.
