Latest ARM kernel wants to be paired with latest olpc-utils

2012-02-09 Thread Martin Langhoff
On XO-1.75, if you updated your kernel in the last couple of days, your serial console won't be happy. Even if you don't use it, it spins constantly and annoyingly. Latest olpc-utils (v1.3.12) will fix that for you, so yum update to it, or install the upcoming OS27 which has a well-matched pair.

Pretty gnome cursor theme on XO-1.75

2012-02-09 Thread Martin Langhoff
