Re: compiling linuxwacom on 10.1.3 on XO-1
By applying the patch from ticket #10297 I am in the process of compiling the xo-1 kernel rpm on my XO-1 (thanks to much help from James Cameron steering me in the right direction). I think all I will need to build/compile the linuxwacom driver is an updated kernel-devel package with the fixes from the patch. Is there an easy way to build the kernel-devel once the new kernel is built? Thanks, Chris Original Message From: - Tue Dec 21 16:22:36 2010 To: devel@lists.laptop.org Subject: compiling linuxwacom on 10.1.3 on XO-1 I've been trying to get Colors! and the Wacom Bamboo tablet working for my 2 nieces for Christmas.

Record activity performance
I'm not sure if this should go to olpc devel or sugar devel, so I'm just sending it here for now. Record-86 is much better than it used to be, but we're still seeing some problems with recording and playback on 10.1.2 on our XO-1.5s. Firstly, I tried Record after having used the XO with various activities (Musicpainter, Image Thumbnail, etc.) and closed them (leaving nothing else running). Recording in Low for 2 min appeared to work, but playback gave no sound, and it paused after about 10 seconds. Restarting the XO, I ran Record again. Playback of the video was fine. Then I recorded a 2 min video in High quality. Fast movement, etc. seemed okay until the final ~30 seconds. At this point, the screen updated very slowly. I reduced the image complexity so that it was able to catch up by the end. Playing back the High quality video gave me what I had seen on the screen when recording, i.e. it was fine until about 30 secs remaining. Then the frame rate slowed to a crawl. Audio continued to be smooth despite the video. The video was fine by the final few seconds, in sync with the audio. We're tracking this here: https://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/86 Does anyone have any ideas on what can be done to address this?

Where do you get Musicpainter from? I can't see it at activities.sugarlabs.org. Nor can I see anything called Thumbnail. If these activities change the mixer controls at all then this may lead to the no sound symptom you describe. Restarting the XO, I ran Record again. Playback of the video was fine.

Everything else you said above, apart from the no sound symptom, matches what we placed in the release notes for 10.1.2. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/10.1.2#Record_activity_video_recording_may_pause What class SD card are you using? Since the version of Record has not changed between 10.1.2 and 10.1.3, it is expected that the same problem will affect 10.1.3.
