THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT RELEASE AIMED AT CORE OS/HW DEVELOPERS
This is a hard floating point Franken release for development and
testing of the hardfp on the XO 1.75. Its very incomplete and has a
number of things that don't work. This is expected and its a release
only really intended for people that understandard what hardfp is and
the significance of it and wish to test and develop further for this
fairly major feature both for upstream Fedora and the XO releases.
This isn't a release that shouldn't have bug reports against it.
So what are the known issues, and what works?
- X works using fbdev. There's an issue with resolution. Fix this by
removing the "Virtual" line from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/xo1.75.conf
- No accelerated X
- Sugar and GNOME do work quite well
- Networking seems to work OK
- Firefox DOESN'T work. Known issue, hopefully should be fixed before long
- Midori for GNOME, Surf for Sugar included as browsers.
systemd is included (as it is Fedora 15) but does not really work by
default. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704783 describes
the same problem and points to a solution:
- remove /var/run, /var/lock and /media from /etc/rwtab and reboot
The change was made on a date after the version of initscripts that is
installed was created. There are no Fedora ARM updates yet, but maybe a
new version fixes it automatically.
I've been working to get this to a reasonable testing state for a
while and finally all the bits fell into place. There's quite a bit of
change going on in the ARM Fedora 15 world. I would suggest regular
"yum update" to get the latest builds. I'm not expecting to do regular
builds of this, but will happily cut more builds if people think a new
one would be useful.
Unfortunately the fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo are non-functional
for Fedora 15 on ARM. Instead, I am now using the most current builds
directly from a repository on the koji infrastructure:
- http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/repos/dist-f15-build/latest/armhfp/
Does it make sense to create tickets for these kind of issues? Or is
this email sufficient to help others?
Thanks for the release,
Niels
