Gonzalzo,
Do I understand you correctly that this is supposed to work by using
alt-shift-s, but currently does not?

Hi everyone. I would like to know if there's any way to check from the
openfirmware or os prompt the voltage from the rtc battery.
Thank you!

Nope. You have to use a voltmeter.

Gonzalo tested and found that XO-1.5 doesn't boot into X. We found the
problem - my fault. Sorry.
I'll do another build early tomorrow with the fix. For today, stick to

Read Etexts does do Text to Speech, but on an XO the highlighting of
the words lags behind the word spoken. The words are spoken OK.
Since Read Etexts works with Plain Text files one thing you could do
is copy highlighted text to the clipboard, save it as a Journal entry,
and use Read Etexts to sp

I have been unpacking and upgrading a shipment of XO 1.5s.
So far, three of them indicate power, but when I press the power button, the
screen stays black.
I could use some help with this.
Could it be a display problem?
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Is there a definitive 'best practice' rule for both XO1 and 1.5 for users who
wish to display web sites with rich flash content? Use browse, use firefox,
use gnome, uninstall such and such?
There seems to be many variant suggestions out in the wikisphere, I was
wondering if there was a single
No, there is no "best practice" rule.
The problem with "best practice" is that every practice must be
evaluated before one can be claimed to be "best". I don't think there's
anyone doing that. It would be a difficult task; the phase space has
dimensions of (a) hardware model, (b) operating syste

As far as I am concerned, the current 'best' is Adobe Flash 10.2.
OLPC has reservations about it because it is not "open source".

With the new display drivers, youtube videos at 320p are very
watchable. You will get occasional glitches due to CPU constraints
but generally quite smooth.
