It makes a difference with the current sharing of activities since various combinations of OS and Sugar versions don't work on the XO-1. With a number of XO-1 systems running 767 and 802, I've been able to share activities 767<->767 and 802<->802 but no luck 767<->802. Some of the issue may not b

Thanks for the "sneak preview". I downloaded the image and installed on my XO-1. The general appearance and operation are very nice. Some issues I had: (1) the Browse activity did not load---just lots of blinking of the startup screen, no error logs by default. I do see errors about missing gtk

[Sugar-devel] OS/X11 support for XO-1 hardware?

2009-02-25 Thread Chris Marshall
With the spin-off of Sugar development to sugarlabs, it is nice to see the development continued. However, it seems that the OLPC layoffs and refocus has scuttled the work to complete some OS and system software support for the XO-1 hardware features. For example, I have been waiting for the vide
