We haven't tried our other XO 1.75
XO-1.75 B1 had an RTC power down hardware defect http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO1.75_B1_C1_Changes#Fix_RTC_Power the effect is to lose the time over a power cycle, which includes an operating system reboot. It might also be intermittent and temperature dependent. So that you don't report this unnecessarily in future, please mark Clyde as having a forgetful RTC, which will impact: - Moon, unless Gary chooses to fix it, - preservation of date and time over reboot, - the RTC diagnostic test in OpenFirmware. Is fixed for C1. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
