Hi Steven - The scratch sensor board doesn't work (works with build 802) I hoped allow olpc access to ttyUSB nodes (from release notes os10) would make it work. I added an extract of /var/log/messages at the bottom of the email. - timezone can not be changed in gnome since administration

Hi Richard, Sorry to turn around on this -- we no longer want the XO-1.5-specific kernel parameters in olpc.fth since we are now building them into the kernel. For future XO-1.5 bootfw releases please replace olpc.fth with the one included here This isn't critical - everything still works fine

Hi, Steven. The USB-serial cable that comes with the Scratch Sensor board needs a driver from Prolifix. That driver used to be included in the builds, but perhaps it was accidentally dropped? If you use a supported USB-serial adaptor cable, then I think the ScratchBoard will work. I just

Hi SGers... I thought I might try helping test the F11 Build 10 on an XO-1. I have one that had a developer key way back in the summer of 2008. I have reflashed the machine numerous times as software updates have arrived... using the No-fail Update, which I thought was supposed to erase

smparrish will correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the release you're testing runs powerd, not ohmd. the presence of the control panel, and its inability to control powerd's behavior, is a bug, or an unimplemented feature -- take your pick. (you can disable powerd if you wish, with initctl
