 a few issues:

 1. HAL's upstream detection of XO-1 is wrong and needs this fix
 {{{
 sed -i -e "s/OLPC HGPK ALPS HGPK/OLPC ALPS HGPK/;"
 /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/05-olpc-detect.fdi
 }}}

 2. It is still wrong, because not all XOs have ALPS touchpads.
 (this means that we have bugs in 8.2.1.. the battery will be being
 excessively polled by HAL causing a degradation in audio permance on
 systems with synaptics touchpads, anything else?)

 3. Upon finding an ALPS touchpad it automatically assumes OLPC XO-1 C2. we
 need a better system that can also detect newer revisions, XO-1 vs XO-1.5,
 etc.
