Re: OLPC.tv and Gnash

The versions of gnash in Ship.* and in Update.1 can't play streaming Ogg videos in a sub-window of a web page yet. That support is in current gnash CVS, and will be in next week's gnash-0.8.2 release, which should be in XO Update.2. However, the standard Browse in update.1 (and perhaps in Ship.1)

As far as I can tell, none of your videos at olpc.tv will play in the free Gnash replacement for the proprietary Flash. There is no 64-bit Flash that I can use on my AMD dual-core Ubuntu system, and the XO does not ship with proprietary software. I request that you get with the program. ^_^ If you

Accessing PenTablet coordinates from PyGTK

I'm trying to get access to the PenTablet from within a PyGTK application. Since the PenTablet isn't working in the current system, I had to modify xorg.conf to use the evdev driver (as in this example: http://dev.laptop.org/attachment/ticket/2198/new-xorg.conf). Doing this, I can get the PenTable

Hmmm... I wonder if just some scripts to take the text and use cairo to draw it (via inserting the text into SVG files at the right places), might be a way to completely automate the generation of the images that are used. Alternatively, using Cairo (maybe using pango, if we need to support RTL te

Hi, Is there a wiki page (specific to SoC 2008) which can be used to build up a list of ideas ? I have been involved in the Summer of Code in 2007 (as a student under GNOME) - and I would love to help organize the SoC efforts from OLPC this year. Thanks, Sayamindu 2008/2/29 Samuel Klein <[EMAIL P

I'm a bit rusty, but you can use the Gimp to do this, using Scheme scripts. I did have a bit of trouble with positioning on some RTL scripts as the Gimp is using fairly antiquated text rendering internally, but it is generally OK. -walter On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 6:08 AM, Alexander Todorov <[EMAIL
