Hi,

Overview
========

I would like make a brief overview of the situation.

In my case, this problem is happening on laptos Magalahes model MG3, 
these kind of the machines are manufactured by a Portuguese company, 
http://www.jp-ik.com/, focuses on provide laptop for children.

Here in Uruguay there is a country wide Educational Project, called 
"Plan Ceibal"[1] [2]. Thousand of these machines were distributed to 
children on the schools around all the country.

Until last year 2013, this machines comes with Ubnutu 10.04 installed 
and Squeak was working like a charm.

Currently a migration to Ubuntu 12.04 is on deployment stage, and some 
of the remaining issues is this (Squeak).

More info about the HW of this Machine [3]


Research results so far:
==========================

I tried get more information, calling fullScreenON and Off from 
Worksapce unsessfully, same behavior happened, but no additional data 
were printed out.


Now, I will take the another approach, related with a comment did by Tim 
Rowledge on the old thread.

<<
"I’d say that strongly suggests a problem in the code setting the screen 
mode; you’ll find it (for unix) in platforms/unix/vm-display-
X11/sqUnixX11.c at the function  display_ioSetFullScreen(sqInt 
fullScreen). Since it works on many unices and has for a long time I 
imagine it means some problem with the specific machine’s display driver 
code. That could be all sorts of fun to solve. At the very least you’ll 
need to find an X expert, which is not me."

Taking in account, i have never developed on Squeak, my plan would be like:

1) Add debugging cide like "printf" to sqUnix11.c to may debug, and 
check if there where the problem

2) Compile Squeak - VM from sourece code, modified.

3) Run Squeak vm with clean Squeak image.

4) See the output of debugging code.

5) With these new clues, i'll ask help to a X expert.

What do you think, that sounds reasonable ?

Is another easier approach ?

Thanks in advance.


Gustavo.
