Okay, thanks.  I was thinking more of your users than you.  They might
try what you have done and fail to make it work on recent firmware
versions.  And some firmware versions cannot be downgraded safely.

So, can you tell me what version of firmware is on your XO-1 now?  You
can find out in several ways, see the "Which Firmware Do You Have?"
section

Okay, I haven't found this one yet.  ;-)  Could you tell me where you
found it?  I normally look at http://dev.laptop.org/~kernels/ but that
version is not present there,

I'd be happy to tell you.  But first I need to know your installed
firmware version (see above), and hardware serial number.  (Because
there are some very early hardware versions that cannot be safely
upgraded).
