Record hangs when you take a photo on those laptops that have broken sound. We have discovered that this is related to firmware Q4D27, as the two laptops that worked were still on Q4D24. Updating them caused the sound to stop working.

After 3 reboots this started working and we discovered the wifi doesn’t work, eth0 exists but is not configured. This laptop is one of the ones on which sound does not work.

How critical do you think this one is? I have a patch from John that fixes this, it's related to hardware driver frame buffer support issues, but at the cost of some memory & performance cycles. Basically it removes pygame default screen buffering feature and does the buffering manually – no more white flicker at the top of the XO-1.75 redraw cycle, but not for free.
