Hi,
I setup OLPC under Qemu (on windows). I have the eToys projects (well at least the intro project and the castle tutorial) about 30% bigger then the window size, overflowing to the right and down. Is it a result of a resolution mapping that I can adjust, and/or do others see the same problem? (I assume it is not that way on the OLPC hardware)
Thanks Milan

Bert reported and proposed a fix:

Nobody should see the screen in 640x480, whether it is on an emulator or actual hardware.
We'll make some changes toward mid-January and testing will be important. Thank you so much!

Indeed. Here's what you can do:
Hold Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to a text console. Log in as user "root". Edit the file "/boot/grub/grub.conf". Replace "vga=0x311" with "vga=0x317". Reboot.

I actually raised the topic again on IRC today, it will be changed in next build. It's so helpful to talk to people directly - this has been sitting there for weeks ;)

Thanks Bert!
I saw the note it will be fixed in build 201(?) - I will test it this weekend if it's out.
What actually got me to try OLPC Squeak under emulation was a fairly negative comments about eToys here:

I suspect the guy (who seemed to have run under VMware) hit the same problem.
Good the issue is getting fixed, many people will run OLPC under emulation, and good things also need good marketing....
