Fusion and LiveCD
I am trying to run OLPC on a Mac. I tried converting the current image for QEMU, but then I get the 3dnow error and it wont run. So I downloaded the live cd image, and it almost works. The Speak activity works, so I know sound works, but as soon as I start TamTam mini, sound is broken. After closing TamTam mini, Speak can be started, but there is no sound output any more. Only rebooting the VM seems to help. I can browse, so the network (NAT in VMWare) is working, but I do not see the neighborhood and I cannot do shared activities.
