ok, after fighting with virtualbox emulation (and eventually giving up), and incomplete SuSE Sugar version (also gave up, thanks Bert for suggestions there), I am testing Etoys in Sugar 0.84 installed on a stick right on the OLPC XO.
Over all Etoys on 0.84 look good, but I will have to do more testing this weekend, so far I see:
Sugar Interaction Problems ====================
- If there are any Etoys activities in the Journal, the last actvity is picked up when I start Etoys from the menu Circle. This way, I can never see Etoys initial screen. I think this is what Bert mentioned. It is really annoying behavior, I assume it changed because of some changes in the Sugar container. This is really the only item I would (personally) consider a bad bug / behaviour. Can anyone make a rough comment what would need to be done to change this?
- Etoys do not have Ctrl-Q / Ctrl-S for Quit / Save on the top right Controls.
- In shared mode, on the "network screen", Etoys is listed as "Gallery" (very minor)
- when not connected to the network, and switching to shared mode, a DBus Error Debug Screen appears.
- There is no sound - but I think there is be no sound on the OLPC running 0.84 from the stick
Etoys Problems (very little Etoys specific testing so far): ============
- sound does not work(Sugar/OLPC Hardware at fault?)
- video does not work(?Sugar/Hardware at fault?)
Over the weekend once I get more testing I will forward to squeakland as well,
Milan

We have one week left for our 0.84.2 Release [1]. This is our
final
update for 0.84.

I'm curious: who ever tested Etoys in Sugar 0.84?
Just trying to get a setup that will allow me to do that. So far all the confusing options failed in a ded end before I could try etoys. The closest came SuSE prebuild version http://en.opensuse.org/ Sugar . but it does not have the Etoys activity, and browser does not work to install it.
Simply installing the activity would most likely not work anyway because it would probably miss the base etoys package. You would have to install the squeak-vm and etoys rpms (see etoys.laptop.org). They should work but are not tested on SuSE.
But if you got Sugar 0.84 running this would at least help you getting a picture of the scale of the changes ...
Will try again tomorrow, Milan
Thanks :)
