- lukego 11y agoIf you have an OLPC XO 1 then you can also download the specifications for the AMD CPU here: http://www.versalogic.com/support/Downloads/PDF/LXManualMay08.pdf http://www.versalogic.com/support/Downloads/PDF/LXManualMay0... That tells you how to do graphics hacks and so on. I had fun with that on my OLPC. I optimized the Forth console to scroll using hardware BLIT (much faster than CPU copy of the framebuffer) and I ported Squeak Smalltalk to run directly on OFW using hardware graphics primitives e.g. for the mouse pointer. Fun times :)
