Thank you for attaching this.
You're really welcome.
The eCafe seems to be a special case because of its unusual
screen resolution, so we will probably have to create an appropriate
entry in Cimmarron just like we previously did for the OLPC XO-1.
Interestingly enough, hwinfo seems to suggest that the display's
native resolution is 1024x768. I thus wonder why the technical
specifications talk about 1024x600 instead.
##################
Well: the screen is in fact a 9inches ~16/9 one and not fine-grained,
and I read somewhere that 1024x600 is in fact interpolated on this
computer.
A usable resolution one is 800x480, with the very sensitive modeline
initially comes with the xorg.conf automagically reportbug filled.
but a peculiar gnome font setup was needed to allow readability:
#################
apps sans 22
documents sans 24
desktop sans 20
windows sans 24
fixed monospace 24
(fr: rendu) subpixel(LCD), seems better with... better
I also remember problems with gvim but cannot remember where
I put it's font setup. Will search for.
I know all that is not directly X related, but it is a matter
of integration currently out of my clue. Things are so complex
today in Linux while you focus on end-user stuff!
I can anyway write a mini-Howto about this computer
with current settings, but I'm afraid an Howto is out of scope
from current Linux newbies, and it cost me about 2 days simply to
find the "magic" modeline through Google garbage.
While tldp platform howtos section still exists!
I will write them on an howto convenience.
############
Any suggestion on tests I could conduce to improve?
Shall we continue for that on this bug report or another?
############
Please note an important fact is that X+GDM is still unstable at boot
in the quoted report. Not really a problem for me, but...
A separate bug should probably be open for that issue.
####################
Yes, I also think this bug mostly closed, but not sure it is GDM
related.
mainly: "Works for me", except at boot time.
Shall I post the bug:
*Against geode x.org?
*Against GDM?
=> I will give a reference to this one.
=> your response can safely close this thread at your will.

Personne n'est parfait. :)
Your birth name suggest me you speak French as a native <g>.
Last:
I apologize to didn't think of these problems while drop the
proprietary-Mandriva-proprietary-distro-derivation and replace with
debian. :(
In fact debian always ran perfectly out of the box on my computers.
I have also problems with my Epson scanner I still cannot run on a ppc
because they don't want to disclose their driver (epkowa), while
I given them Debian tricks as upgrading to Lenny.
I think the next step for Debian is to lobby hardware manufacturers
convicts that Debian is now ready out of the box for desktop
end-users, and that even a chicken can install it safely... on good
hardware.
HTH,
TH.
