Happens (or does not) randomly: During the interval between when OFW stops writing the screen (e.g., after the circle of dots has been drawn, and the non-color doughnut is first being shown) and when Sugar starts writing the screen (i.e., when the Frame is drawn and the colored "me" icon is shown in the center of the doughnut) :
Occasionally something not appropriate to Sugar-startup gets drawn on my XO screen. -------- Was __VERY__ confusing a moment ago [G1G1; Q2D14a; developer key; recent (approximately equal to 1815) Joyride] : After the non-color doughnut was drawn, what was shown on the screen was an exact image of what OFW booting shows. In fact, I thought the XO had re-booted itself -- except for no tune being played. But I left the XO alone -- and a while later, Sugar did come up. [So looking like it rebooted was a false visual alarm.] -------- Other days (using earlier build levels and ROMs; not limited to Joyride) I've seen the (presumably) console3 output lines shown briefly (perhaps OFW re-painted the screen); or have had the whole screen go half-illuminated (nothing showing) when the OFW circle of dots had reached 11 o'clock (the half-dark was "escaped from" only when Sugar drew its Main screen). In all cases, Sugar eventually came up and showed what is was supposed to. -------- My guess is that the screen has been told by OFW what to show, but some sort of (stray?) signal randomly comes along which causes a previous image (screen-buffer?) to be shown instead. When that previous image makes it appear as though the XO is re-booting itself, that is NOT what you want the user to see. mikus _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
