Thanks a lot!
I presume we released our candidate build 880 a bit too late for your
weekly meeting. Will try and do it sooner next time.

The photo functionality should work, but you'll need to upgrade to
candidate build 880 first. audio/video not yet (#11296).

Looks like we don't have this in trac yet. Can you define "doesn't
work" more precisely? Fails to launch? Tickets welcome!

Old bug, https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8993
You could report this on http://bugs.sugarlabs.org if it's not there
already (can't check, it appears to be down)

Known problem, acceleration gets disabled in rotated modes. Added to
11.3.0 release notes.

Great!

Thanks for diagnosing. I agree, please file a bug with the NZ Herald :)

Interesting... feel free to file a ticket so that we have this on
record (although it won't be treated with high priority for reasons
you can probably understand!).

I can't explain the difference between different OS builds (perhaps
there is a random element to this issue), but I've added this as a
known issue to the 11.3.0 release notes, thanks.

I think Gonzalo is working on this?

Gonzalo, any comments?

Is this reproducible?

Please file a ticket at sugarlabs if this is reproducible.

Thanks for the exhaustive and detailed report - very useful as always!
