re: F11 on XO-1: keyboard + mouse not responding.
Ok. After a couple of reboots unplugged from the power supply, keyboard & trackpad worked in Sugar again. When I switched to Gnome, both stopped working again. Attaching an external keyboard and mouse work, but it's irritating that the built-in ones don't. I'd like to hear ideas before I reflash the XO & reinstall F11 so you guys can track this bug. -Naz -- carlos nazareno http://twitter.com/object404 http://www.object404.com -- core team member phlashers: philippine flash actionscripters http://www.phlasheers.com -- "poverty is violence" -- "if you don't like the way the world is running, then change it instead of just complaining." ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

F11 on XO-1: keyboard & trackpad stopped working
Hi guys. I just installed the official Fedora 11 you guys are working on for the XO-1. For some bizarre reason, the trackpad and keyboard stopped working on both Gnome and Sugar. Sticking a USB mouse works, and if I press ESC during boot to show the "OK" prompt, I'm able to type fine at the boot console though. Trackpad and keyboard work fine too when I stick in Teapot's Ubuntu 8.10 on an SD card. Any ideas what happened? Last night after I freshly installed Fedora, the trackpad was working (albeit flakily... doing the four-finger corner keys salute wouldn't reset the trackpad). -- carlos nazareno http://twitter.com/object404 http://www.object404.com -- core team member phlashers: philippine flash actionscripters http://www.phlasheers.com -- "poverty is violence" -- "if you don't like the way the world is running, then change it instead of just complaining." ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
RE: [support-gang] touchpad woes: quick fix?
Wow... that is really expensive! What if you simply turned the XO screen to face forward, set a laptop with a good built-in web cam in front of it, and drove the projector with the laptop? It might take a little bit of adjusting, but it should work. If you use a laptop and dongle that you probably already have the cost is $0.

Has anyone tried using a document camera to display the XO screen on a big screen? Teachers have started using them at my school although there is only one to share among 10+ teachers. I thought it might solve the problem of not being able to connect an LCD projector. What other solutions have people come up with for showing the class how to do something?

touchpad woes: quick fix?
hi all -- we've had reports from the XO-1 deployments in haiti of a technique that kids are using to make their touchpads more reliable. since it's notoriously hard to recreate field conditions here in the rarified environment of the OLPC world headquarters corporate penthouse suite [1], i'm wondering if folks on this list might give this trick a try, and see if you think it's an improvement. there's no rush on this -- try it, give it a while, and report back. the thing the kids are doing is simply covering the touchpad with... scotch tape. really. just that. so the thing to try is that, or maybe a sticker, or maybe even a Post-it note of the right size, affixed on top of the active area of the touchpad. (there's some basis for this having an affect, in that increasing the gap between one's finger and the touchpad will change the capacitive coupling between the two.) i'm told the kids are using the glossy kind of tape, but i don't know if that's due to preference, or availability. please give it a try, and let us know your impressions. paul [1] just kidding about the "rarified" and "penthouse" parts. but the touchpad do, unfortunately, work reasonably well in our typically climate-controlled office. =- paul fox, p...@laptop.org ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
