First of two responses: I've discovered a related problem: I accidentally booted my XO with an SoaS USB drive in one of its slots.
I didn't expect it to boot - *unaided* - into SoaS (which it did). Is this expected? At any rate, I found ordinary text (such as on the Terminal and Logs activities) to be unreadable (*too* small). I needed to remove my glasses and move to six inches from the screen before I could focus. I then ran my activity (or, rather, was able to view some of it on-screen, as csound with python is not yet working). Instead of displaying nicely like it does on "native" XO, it too displays in tiny type in the upper left-hand corner. In other words, there is the same problem of screen formatting as on my desktop system. I note the icons and graphics are nicely sized; but all plain text apparently not? This is a real problem that, IMHO, renders SoaS (i.e., later versions of Sugar) fairly useless on the XO. Is this issue being addressed? (If so, I haven't seen discussion on this list recently. And what does this mean for the future viability of the XO?)
