ction(?), instead of the Sugar specific functions, when pressing them together with the Fn key? I've never done Linux key mapping, I have no idea how to do this. If someone thinks this can be done, please say so, as I'm interested in giving it a go. Best regards,

powered it would be. I could also go on and on of what's about great about the XO, and there's a whole lot, but that's not something that can be improved, that's already great as is, and you know what it is! What's bad is what needs to be improved, to be talked about,

These are the Z series and they draw very little power, top of 2.4W for the 1866MHz model. The other low-end chip(also $20), the Z510, has a TDP of 2W - any one of these can run without an "heatsink", mostly a small metal plate that allows the silicon core to dissipate heat, si

Touchpad problem

the touchpad's buttons also are irresponsive, for as much as I press either one. Usually, the touchpad starts working well again when I suspend the XO and wake it up, even if just for a while. This has always worked for me. Any ideas? Best regards,

we had the (mostly ignorant) governors embrace the Classmate from Intel and Microsoft, as soon as they had the opportunity. Worse, they rebranded it as Portuguese built and tried to make it pass as something huge, where we would actually be building the thing - we're putting it a sticker made here, if as much. Needless to say, it would be nice if this could be put to an end. It may ultimately be a good thing (in some ways) but I don't really like the driving force behind it.

gram? Where each XO sold to the public, 1/4 of it's value is for a donated XO. That could help bring mass production closer to the desired numbers, mass public availability sure has helped that darn Classmate. Just my 2 cents.
