first play with new XO 1.5 machines
Testing 5 of the new XO 1.5 machines - our first experiences... hardware seems more responsive great touch pad - can feel edges and has tap click on touch pad so you dont have to push the button, we like it video card issues with on screen animations - e.g. frame gives flickers on boot the display is a mass of colours - some kind of video driver fault many keys only work intermittently on some of these XOs. particularly - frame key and the key next to it, search key, function key, hand keys, divide/multiply key. no mesh network showing in neighbourhood, could connect to our home wifi and browse internet, intermittently can see other XOs here (once we took out jabber.sugarlabs.org from network settings in my settings) the new record activity has no camera, only audio! camera issues... video for linux working but doesnt like what it finds, a driver issue? doesnt know about the camera? tried looking for it, lspci, lshal, lsmod, no luck question - why is there a /media/boot in the frame next to the battery indicator and volume indicator, we took it apart and found there was a 4GB micro SD card for nonvolatile storage and think 8GB SD RAM? so upgradeable? more testing to come, will keep everyone informed Tabitha ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Continuation of testing XO 1.5 machine
tested install activity from browse - installed geoquiz-4 successfully from wiki.laptop and started game successfully tried installing foodforce2-beta.xo from code.google.com - failed, gave file in journal but not activity can download foodforce2-1.xo from activities.sugarlabs.org and does succesfully run ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: first play with new XO 1.5 machines
G'day Tabitha, Several of the experiences you mention are common to the recent Fedora 11 builds on both XO-1 and XO-1.5 machines. Some are peculiar to the XO-1.5 machines while development is continuing. This trac query: http://dev.laptop.org/query?status=assignedstatus=newstatus=reopenedgroup=componentorder=prioritycol=idcol=summarycol=statuscol=typecol=prioritymilestone=1.5-F11 shows the experiences that are known to be peculiar to the XO-1.5.

On mine, I see two battery indicators, #9353 relates. we took it apart and found there was a 4GB micro SD card for nonvolatile storage [...] Yes. and think 8GB SD RAM? No. so upgradeable? If you mean field upgrading of the micro SD card ... that would be a deployment team nightmare, but yes, I guess so. I'd hate to price it. ;-) The RAM is not field upgradable. The micro SD card is probably factory upgradable ... if prices or deployment needs change prior to order, work could be done to meet demand ... at some price.

The big issue is that there is no optical drive, but beyond that I was wondering if that would work. Definitely works for me :-) See the XS_Techniques page for hints on - Installing from USB. I've added notes there on how to avoid the installer crashes. - How to run your wlan0 as the WAN port. Note: you can create an ifcfg-wlan0 to configure it fully, but it gets messy trying to connect to WPA-protected APs on boot. - Using xs_swapnics to make your eth0 into eth1 so you can hook up an AP there. If you are very lucky, your netbook may have a WLAN that can run as an AP (using a hostap driver). That'd be nice to see in action too. If your netbook has a small HD, might be wise to disable the backup service. Just comment out the relevant parts in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ds-backup.conf file and restart apache... cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list server-de...@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

It seemed like only the screen was blanked after some idle time. no, no auto-suspend on AC or battery, yet. we're waiting until the display remains functional across a suspend/resume before enabling any sort of power management. your screen is blanking due to DPMS, which we should be disabling. question - why is there a /media/boot in the frame next to the battery indicator and volume indicator, Pass. I hadn't noticed that. It isn't there for me at the moment. I wonder why Sugar is showing it. I saw the SD icon too, in the Journal of the pre-installed OS. It's gone in os32. we've switched to a partitioned filesystem scheme. OFW and /boot can agree on a single filesystem type, and we can have more freedom to change the type of / more flexibly (e.g., ext4, ext5, ext6,... ext3). in pre-os32, the system was seeing the extra available partition and mounting it, just as it would an external SD or USB. paul =- paul fox, p...@laptop.org ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Re: [Testing] first play with new XO 1.5 machines
One can also check the 1.5 tickets at http://dev.laptop.org/1.5 - Ed P.S. Remember - if it's not in trac, it doesn't exist. If you find a problem, check trac and open a ticket if it's not already there. Tabitha correctly labeled this thread as playing with 1.5, which is fine and a great start - testing means entering any strangenesses into trac. Thanks!

It also has a fun feature for your amusement: ok screen-ih iselect ok 40 30 set-scaled-resolution (It also works with more conventional resolutions like d# 1024 d# 768 set-scaled-resolution, but not with resolutions larger than the screen's native size of 1200 x 900.) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
