The ~cjb images for rawhide-xo are good enough that I've been able
to run quite a few applications on my XO. But while logged in to
Sugar (e.g., with 20090326.img on the XO), I get neither sound out
nor a "moving picture" out from applications meant to produce those.
I do not have any particular test case -- *none* of the applications
I've tried (they all run properly on 8.2.1) produce sound/video for
me. [And some of those applications have taken me hours to install,
and would require even more hours to detail a "how to install".]
Nevertheless, I feel audio/video lack in rawhide XO is serious. The
existing OLPC tickets I've found on bugzilla.redhat are mostly about
__build__ problems. What I'm seeing are __usability__ problems.
Where (and how) should I report lack of audio/video output on an XO?

* Bugs are the best way for users tell developers about problems.
* "Release notes" / "Known issues" are the best way for people tell
users about problems.
* E-mail /chat are good ways to communicate beforehand.
I'd love to have comprehensive "Disregard this area, it doesn't work"
notes for bleeding-edge releases, but developers are busy so I've
tried to make them myself.
I've jumped on irc://irc.freenode.net/#fedora-olpc , asked about a
basic issue, got confirmation from someone like the helpful cjb that
it's a bug, and updated
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rawhide-XO#Known_issues , and filed a couple
of bugs. I think it's a good approach that you or anyone can
participate in. Maybe you could summarize your _amazing_ "Quick run
through of Activities".
The
existing OLPC tickets I've found on bugzilla.redhat are mostly about
__build__ problems.
As that page notes, the product "Fedora OLPC" in redhat bugzilla is
obsolete. The tracker bug 461806 is helpful, but it's missing lots of
known issues like sound.
Cheers,
