Tried your test for 2866. Works as advertised for me (joyride-2280). Could not test the mesh, since I have only one XO. At startup, when showing the frame, you see first the attempt to connect to the mesh, then it is replaced by the AP icon and information. I like the signal strength indication and

olpc-update and split-horizon dns

Hi Scott, If the lease server proper is not in use (for XOs with very long leases), olpc-update will never use the local school server. Talking to Wad earlier today, he mentioned that at one stage using a split horizon DNS that masks updates.laptop.org was part of the plan. It's trivial for me to

Activity updater - work with XS?

Hi Scott, Now that we have olpc-update able to use a local XS, I'm wondering whether we can get activities on the local server too. The old activity-update doesn't exist any more (at least at git://dev.laptop.org/users/cscott/activity-update ), so my guess is that the code has been absorved into

Hi, I am trying to port an application from a normal Fedora system to work on the XO. The application uses OSS API's which read and write to /dev/dsp to acheive sound functionality. While porting I found out that the XO does not have a /dev/dsp but has a single /dev/snd file for sound device.
