Hit list for LX/B3 build
! Need OFW by May 6, OS image by May 9.
Software issues for B3.
* Cursor becomes limpid.
Jordan: The software compositor is improved.
Already in last Friday's build
AI: jg to add trac to add hw cursor support
Not B3 requirement
* Wireless activity LED does not work.
Blinking is bad, so the LED should indicate connectivity
in either access-point mode or mesh mode.
AI: jg to enter trac ticket to make this change happen
Not B3 requirement
* Rotated images looks fuzzy
AI: Jim to look at it
B3 requirement. Jordan owns.
* White dotted line when switching between text mode and sugar
Jordan has seen it - it comes and goes - but doesn't know
exactly what is causing it.
Not B3 requirement
* NAND size problem
Understood, OFW and kernel fixed, awaiting ECO
* Can't resume to OFW
Fixed
* L1 and L2 cache unknown in memtest
Fixed
* Mic fail in Linux, passes in OFW
We don't know yet.
* DCON driver in
Fixed.
* Lumistar SD card not detected
Pierre needs a sample of the card
AI: jg to order 2x of the Lumistar 1G cards
Not B3 requirement
* Error ISR 8000
Hard to duplicate.
Not B3 requirement
* USB 1.1 port.
Analyzed. The connector is bad. See trac #1374.
* Battery LED color
Fixed in Q2C09
* Speaker noise in reboot
We think it has been fixed
* Doesn't turn off wireless LED after auto-shutdown (when the battery is
low)
We think the EC needs to turn off the WLAN when low battery is detected.
AI: richard to follow up on this
B3 requirement
* USB doesn't work in OFW after resume
Not a requirement.
* Audio out
AI: cjb to test that audio works on first power-up with fresh image.
* Sometimes system can't reboot after you input reboot command at shell
prompt
AI: dilinger - Make this work. (Should use the soft reset MSR
instead of KBC-off/KBC-on)
Agenda:
System build for B3 build
Start with stable build and
+ update kernel, firmware, X driver, xorg.conf, audio driver
Firmware for the B3 build (OFW, Marvell, Boot2).
+ Use 3107 boot2 code unless Javier has something new
+ Use Q2C10 or later
What should be targets for next stable build?
No information
School server status
Most pressing problem is the "backup using a key" problem.
No progress on school server due to other pressing issues.
Need to get h0lger unstuck.
Power management measurement tinderbox
Got machine set up today, and got a voltage reading from front panel.
Telnet is the next step.
B3 Suspend/Resume
Need a kernel with both power management and lx support. Andres to
make one.
The B3 works as well as the B2 with OFW suspend/resume tests.
Priorities
* Getting the server ready for trial
server - wad
Backup needed for laptops to servers urgently
* Power management
Old action items:
AI: Dan - make a wiki page describing manual/fallback wireless
configuration procedure.
Still open?
AI: Wad - wiki-link the doc for the libertas driver ioctl
Done
AI: wmb - study what is necessary to bring back touchpad after resume
Done, the trick is to issue stream-on
Status reports:
Lilian has supplied some long-run tests for OFW.
Startup sound support ready for inclusion in OFW.
