Using fbdev

This method doesn't provide 2D acceleration, but works with packages from the official Debian archive. Make sure xserver-xorg-video-fbdev is installed, then add the following line to the default xorg.conf:

 Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
+       Driver          "fbdev"
        Option          "UseFBDev"              "true"
 EndSection

Using GEODE

  • Debian Lenny offers GEODE 2.10.0 which includes full XO support and makes the OLPC repository obsolete.
  • h01ger provides packages xorg for etch
