The menu framework and command came along for the ride with the graphics infrastructure that is used for pretty boot and the graphical depiction of security status. Only with 1.5 did we populate the menu with actual icons and behavior. We should disable that command for XO-1. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Only with 1.5 did we populate the menu with actual icons and behavior. So its not even a regression. :) Few people knew it existed so it never got tried. Now that menu is a regular part of a tech users vocab we should fix it or disable it on the next XO-1 firmware release. -- Richard A.

'menu' in OFW on an XO-1
With firmware Q2E45 on an XO-1 (yes, I finally got it unlocked!), I type 'menu' at the ok prompt. On an XO-1.5, I get a very useful list of icons that run different hardware tests.

Re: 'menu' in OFW on an XO-1
got the same result with 2 x XO1 Q2E45 (dextrose439dg and 373pyg) have not used 'menu' before, always used 'help' to see options Tony With firmware Q2E45 on an XO-1 (yes, I finally got it unlocked!), I type 'menu' at the ok prompt.
