Revision as of 05:09, 27 March 2013
In the discussion on the blog announcement, it was asked if it would be possibly to purchase a new motherboard to upgrade a XO-1 to an XO-1.5. Is this possible? 174.27.20.155 03:09, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
- We have briefly tested XO-1.5 motherboards in XO-1 cases for major deployments. If you are a major deployment, please contact your deployment support team at OLPC regarding this, to determine what you need to order and what procedures are available. If you are an individual XO owner, then sorry but we don't have any immediate plans to make small quantities of motherboards available for upgrade. . --Quozl 01:56, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
VESA Video
I've checked the linked manual for the VX855 and not found a mention of VESA. Does the XO-1.5 video hardware support VESA? If so, a citation to a document would help. Thanks, Peasthope 21:58, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
