This is with xf86-video-vesa, the AMD Geode GPU driver is broken. And you need big fonts. :-)
You need the linux-firmware package and 'modprobe usb8xxx' for wifi.
And you need the special 'linux-olpc-xo1' kernel instead of the default one, that's all folks.

Re: OLPC XO-1

Hmm, usb8xxx appears to be a kernel module on my system, and some corresponding dark binaries.  Good luck if that hangs on you!

Re: OLPC XO-1

Yeah, that's the only sad thing about the OLPC, it has proprietary hardware blobs. :-(

Re: OLPC XO-1

Nah. A race in usb8xxx which gets worse and worse :-)

Now I'm down to 4 reboots and one working WIFI device, before it was 2:1 roughly..

Andreas,

Perhaps it's related to this commit? https://linux-commits-search.typesense. … ar%5D=2016
