Interesting, thanks
My app uses its own drivers for the USB-HID device. So i will have to detach
the existing driver before I can use my own drivers. So I need root
permission to do this.

Hi,
I prepared a .xo file for my application to be installed on the XO. I
created the .xo file by running the zip command on the activity folder. Now
if I have to install the activity through a thumb drive, I go to the
terminal move to Activities folder and then unzip the .xo file there.
in the appropriate directory and restart the
xserver it works fine.

What's your problem? The bundle seems to install correctly as its icon

Hi All,
We are developing an Activity for the XO. During development we ran
into an issue with the default screen depth on the XO. Our application
assumes that the screen depth is 32 and does all the draw math. But as the
screen depth on the XO is 16 we had to do constant 32 bit- 16 bit
not fix that.)
If you need it then I could search for the code I have used but it would
take some time...
