A number of special actions are available by holding down game key combinations when the XO is powered on:
After firmware q2c28
- The 'X' game pad key is no longer used during upgrading.
- The Open Firmware ok prompt is available by default in non-secure boot. You will have to press the Esc key during the countdown.
- 'X' game pad key: toggles secure and non-secure boot
- 'â' (check) game pad key: forces non-pretty boot
- 'O' game pad key: boot from alternate image
- Rotate button: display UL safety message
- 'â»' (square) game pad keys: wipe out user directory and do a factory-fresh install. (appropriate for upgrading machines straight from the factory)
Before firmware q2c28
- Rotate button: play "startup sound" at boot (after q2c27, this key will turn off sound and graphic boot up screen)
- 'X' game pad key: interrupt boot, provide Open Firmware ok prompt. You may have to press the Esc key during the countdown (q2c25).
- 'O' game pad key: boot from backup OS image, for system recovery. (not yet in a stable build)
- Left directional pad: try out "pretty boot" (be patient, early versions show a static boot screen for a long time) (after q2c27, this key will turn off the "pretty boot")
- Right directional pad: try it and see!
Further, the Autoreinstallation image uses a couple more special game key combinations:
- 'X' and 'â' (check) game pad keys: skip upgrade, just write activation lease to USB key and boot. (if your XO doesn't have a check key, use the 'O' key)
- 'X' and 'â»' (square) game pad keys: wipe out user directory and do a factory-fresh install. (appropriate for upgrading machines straight from the factory)
