This page contains information about modifications to the XO hardware. These either fix a problem/shortcoming with particular implementations (or "builds") of the laptop, or extend its capabilities in particular ways.
Modification to Production Models
This page welcomes contributions from the community at large.
- Improving D-Pad (Directional Arrow Pad) control
- Increasing the maximum USB power
- Adding a Bluetooth transceiver
- Installing a different keyboard: part I: physical, part II: electrical, the keyboard used
- Increasing the SDRAM memory
And, not really a modification of the laptop, but possibly useful nonetheless:
Modification of Pre-production Models
There were several thousand B4 version ("build") laptops built and distributed to developers and trials around the world. These machines (and their close cousins, the B3 and C1 builds distributed only to developers) are functionally equivalent to the production machines...except for a few minor tweaks which can make a huge difference.
- Modifying a B4/C1 to improve the suspend/resume performance
Even Earlier Models
- The B2 build can easily be modified to support suspend/resume
