Re: [Sugar-devel] XO-1 keyboard issues, partial setxkbmap workaround

(including fedora-olpc-list) I think there are three Fedora XO-1 keyboard bugs: 1. Any Rawhide should auto-detect you have an OLPC keyboard. The hal and evdev bits and pieces are there, yet it doesn't work. I filed . I made n00b notes at http

Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Priorities and Ideas (for GSoC)

I guess I wasn't clear in my last message. The point I was trying to make is that regardless of the scale of the GSoC program, it is small relative to our needs and the potential size of the pool of interested contributors. Therefore, we should consider designing a mentoring program that can beyond

Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Priorities and Ideas (for GSoC)

It's true that most new organizations are capped at two slots, and that there are 20% fewer slots overall this year than last. On the other hand, we are not most new organizations, and generally number of slots is proportional to number of applicants. If everybody on this list helps get people to a

[Sugar-devel] XO-1 keyboard issues, partial setxkbmap workaround

In yesterday's Soas2-200903121944.iso and in rawhide-xo 20090313.iso , I found that to get the XO-1's AltGr key to work in Sugar, I had to set the keyboard to olpc with setxkbmap -model olpc The AltGr key will now work to insert the special characters on some of the keycaps. I think you could a
