The layouts are xml files and hence very small is size so the easiest way to install them would be to have them there by default. My question to Gary about the layouts was more about how hard it would be to package them up separately so it's easy to add new layouts post release of a release. It's quicker to add a single package with a single layout than having to QA an entire release again.

Were there any changes in the WiFi area for XO-1? OS4 worked for me. Now, I can't connect. Clicking on my AP doesn't ask me for a password. I remember discussions of this area, but I never had any troubles. My neighborhood view shows my AP (and several others) and the 3 Mesh icons. The Mesh icons are not blinking. That's what I expect. But the WiFi LED isn't on. It blinks occasionally. Sometimes, new APs appear after the blinks. I switched to Gnome and could connect there. Now it works after switching back to Sugar. Is there anything I can do to help debug this? -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Installed, quick test. You're right, the ebook trigger isn't
happening. And I cannot type with it -- Write won't show input from
the OSK, home view search box won't show input from OSK.
The touchscreen scale_{x,y} defaults are killing me. They make the UI
_very_ awkward to use -- I average 2.5 touches before I can hit a
moderately large button (next, or the stop icon). This is because
the offset the driver applies shifts in every spot of the screen, it's
a devilish thing.
Paul, can we crank those defaults way down? Or add a dampening / ramp
up effect to the offset that is flat in most of the screen, but
quickly ramps up near edges? (If you don't believe me, install OS5 and
use Sugar with the touchscreen for a while).

as i said the other day, the kernel driver should either do no scaling
by default, or it should make every pixel on the screen touchable with
a standard pointing instrument (i.e., a stylus). the latter is what
it does now -- perhaps exaggerated. but any other midway decision
between those extremes (which i agree is probably the right thing)
constitutes policy, and therefore belongs at user level.
which is to say, i think the correct defaults belong in olpc-utils,
along with the countless other XO useablility tweaks that are already
there.
(once that change is firmly in place, i'll probably revert the driver to
default to no scaling at all.)
