Re: XO Problems (4 Problems)
As far as I know these are based on the latest OLPC builds (and kernel). Only the sugar packages are updated, see the wiki page Walter linked.

Re: XO Problems (4 Problems)
Our latest builds (Walter and me pointed to the same) are based on Fedora 18, as 13.2.0, and only have the sugar 0.100 rpms, and a few other updates from dsd. Sadly, we don't have resources to work in the low level stuff, then we didn't moved to newer Fedora releases.

Prepare a USB drive for your teachers to disable the sound: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Startup_sound#Can_we_disable_it_for_a_classroom.3F I just tested this on my XO4 to make sure the process is the same as it was on the XO-1. Yes, it is the same across XO-1, XO-1.5, XO-1.75 and XO-4. Start with the XO4 powered off. Locate and hover your finger over F11 (the volume down key) and get ready. Power on. While (or even before, it doesn't hurt anything) you hear the tones, press F11 repeatedly until the volume level is satisfactory. To raise the volume back up, it's the same process but with F12 (volume up). You can also hold a volume key down after turning the laptop on, and it will repeat. You can use this on any random XO you pick up to avoid the startup sound almost entirely. I think at this point some of us have technically heard The Edge's guitar playing more than a lot of U2 fans. Yes, during OLPC conference calls and team meetings having some participant reboot an XO repeatedly was very distracting. ;-) Sick of U2? You can now change the startup sound. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Startup_sound#Can_we_use_another_sound.3F -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

OFW and Linux do handle their volume settings individually. Paul's suggestion should fix that problem up. I believe there is a newer OFW revision that reduces the overall volume to avoid distortion. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
