When you laqunch rev 2.9 it then says that the resolution needs to be
1024x768. However, since you have a 900 you probably wont see the popup.
I've not yet got further than figuring out how to get to 2.9 to launch
(the EEE comes stock in 16-bit mode; there's no GUI support - that
I've found - for changing the screen depth; launching Rev from the GUI
fails silently; but if you launch Rev from the terminal, it fails with
an error that it requires 32 bit display. The helpful interweb
reveals that you can edit a config file to restart the EEE in 24 bit,
and this is sufficient to get Rev to launch. Phew!) After getting
that far I've not had the energy to play further with Rev - but I'm
planning to take the EEE on vacation instead of my MBP, and give it a
proper test then.
I simply went to the rev folder using the fiel manger. Then right
clicked on the app and set it to executaable. then it worked with a
double click (and also when added to the start menu)
I use xandros full desktop. You can get info on the install including
kicker etc here

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the helpful suggestions - sorry I wasn't clear. I had in fact
already got Rev working (having previously installed Xandros full desktop);
but by the time I'd done everything to get it working, I'd lost the energy to
do anything with it! Interestinly I don't recall seeing an alert about
requiring 1024x768, although since the 900 by default is in 1024x600 you'd
think it would apply; however, the problem that did stall me for a while was
the '32-bit' requirement, which isn't reported in the GUI.
regards,
Ben
