This is a one time configuration that the olpc-utils[1] package currently handles. Perhaps olpc-utils would be a better place for this piece of code. It's fine there is you use it in a single user environment with a user called olpc but if you want to use it in a multiuser environment where the user isn't defined that model breaks and that is why the patch was added there.

What's the official status on the 1.75? Still as yet unreleased? It's been shipping for some time now. I don't know where they got that information. And the correct name for the new generation will probably be XO-4 and XO-4 Touch. I'm confused: What's the difference between the XO-4 (without the touch) and the XO-1.75 going to be? Also, Neonode's press release refers to the touch-enabled device as OLPC XO Touch 1.75 which fits in much better with the current naming scheme. Especially since an XO-4 which will pressumably become available before the XO 3.0 tablet sees the light of day would make the tablet seem outdated from day one.

For F18+ Yes, I agree, I read this earlier and tagged it for follow up. It certainly makes sense and allows us to package things up properly and if it makes it easier for deployments I'm all for it.

Retina display
The phrase retina display is being used a lot these days. My reading indicates that the vendor uses this term quite loosely [1]. There you can see that the definition currently ranges from 326 to 220 ppi. The resolution of the XO's display is listed as 200 dpi [2], which is not far off. If I have understood correctly, dpi in the context of display technologies is the same thing as ppi [3]. Without infringing any trademarks, how closely could we say that the XO's display is a retina one?

Any question on characterizing the display should probably be referred to Mary Lou Jepson (now at Pixel Qi). http://www.pixelqi.com/ IANAL, but the term Retina in reference to computers and mobile devices is an Apple trademark, so any such use (referring to anything but an Apple device) would be violating their rights to that mark. cjl ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Re: [OLPC-AU] Retina display
Don't go there. It is hard to talk about the resolution of the PixelQi display. In BW mode, it is 1200 x 900.In color mode, it is something closer to 690 x 520, but the human visual system has much less color resolution anyway so it appears sharper. MLJ did a great job of matching the display to the HVS.
