thanks Carol, this instruction for disabling the corner sensitivity is extremely useful! I may use it in the custom build I roll out, some 3-4 months from now. I hope some of the hardware techs at OLPC like Richard Smith can shed some light on the jumpy touchpad. Rebooting works for me as well

Hi all, during the last weeks people from three different pilot projects have asked me what's going on inside OLPC. I couldn't answer them satisfactorily because I know very little more than what anyone from the community would know (and I like it that way). What worried me is that people were
