That is the icon I was speaking about earlier, for starting connection while in Sugar. It looks like a mobile because that's how the first modems began. A 3G USB modem is like a mobile but without battery, keypad, display, speaker, or microphone. > > Certain adapters are supported by OLPC OS.

Devices that require the usbvga kernel driver appear to be supported, but the release notes for 11.3.1 and 12.1.0 say that it does not yet work on the XO-1.75. > I checked under My Settings, the display device option is not there > maybe I saw it in the GNOME menu somewhere. I do not recall a display device option in Sugar. You will probably need an external device before you look for configuration options. > Btw, after the SD card mishap, the GNOME desktop look has > changed.

All I have is the start of a thread saying that an .rpm file on an SD card crashed the laptop somehow, but your post was really short on detail. I would need to know: - what OLPC OS version you are using, - what .rpm file was on the SD card, - what you mean by "crashes"; what are the observations? To restore to factory settings for the operating system, use the installation method for the selected version. For instance, to install 12.1.0 on XO-1.75, follow these instructions: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/12.1.0/Installation/XO-1.75 -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
