Hi James,<br><br>I'll fill in my responses in your message. Boy! These builds come along fast. I haven't had time to test 59 yet and 60 is here already!<br><br>Is there supposed to be a firmware update along with 60? It was mentioned in the email Adam forwarded, but there was no link.<br><br>Caryl<br><br><br>> Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:55:43 +1100<br>> From: quozl@laptop.org<br>> To: cbigenho@hotmail.com<br>> CC: devel@lists.laptop.org; support-gang@laptop.org<br>> Subject: Re: TamTam Mini Quirks In Build 56<br>> <br>> G'day Caryl,<br>> <br>> That problem sounded interesting, so I tested it myself. I couldn't get<br>> it to happen. I was using os60, and I don't think anything relevant was<br>> changed between os56 and os60. I wondered if I was trying to do the<br>> same thing you were.<br><br><i>I'll try it again. Right now I have 59 installed so I'll use it. I will also time it to see how long it takes to happen. It may be longer than I thought.</i><br>> <br>> Could you tell me what action you do to "go home?" Do you mean pressing<br>> the Home View or F3 (single green dot in solid green circle) key above<br>> the 4 key? Or Alt/Tab? Or Ctrl/Q?<br><br><i>First I clicked on the stop sign icon. That took me to the Journal. I tried the F3 key to go home. It didn't work. From the Journal I was able to get back to TamTam and to the other Activities in the Journal, but when they were closed I ended up back in the Journal. I was locked in!</i><br>> <br>> Was an external keyboard attached to the laptop?<br><br><i>No, just the laptop. I hope someday a small piano-type will be able to interface with the XO.</i><br>> <br>> Were you holding down any of the "modifier" keys ... the ctrl, shift,<br>> fn, alt, alt gr, or shift keys? The Home View key surprisingly doesn't<br>> work if any of those are active.<br><br><i>No, just the Home View key</i><br>> <br>> If you can get it to happen again, could you tell me if any of the<br>> following fixes the symptom without having to restart:<br><i><br>I'll check it out and let you know one way or another what happens.</i><br>> <br>> 1. Alt/Tab (which should switch to the Journal or any other running<br>> activity),<br>> <br>> 2. Ctrl/Q (which should quit the Tam Tam Mini activity),<br>> <br>> 3. clicking on the Stop icon at the top right,<br>> <br>> 4. Ctrl/Alt/Erase (which should restart Sugar only without restarting<br>> the operating system),<br>> <br>> 5. pressing each of the "modifier" keys once and then releasing them<br>> before you try the Home View key. (this would imply a key state is<br>> incorrectly latching, something we've seen before after a resume from<br>> idle suspend, but we thought we fixed it).<br>> <br>> -- <br>> James Cameron<br>> http://quozl.linux.org.au/<br> </body>
