XOSL-OW116 Known Issues

1. Virus Scanner - False Positives
2. XOSL Installer - Video Memory
3. XOSL Installer - PS2 Mouse Detection

1. Virus Scanner - False Positives

The XOSL-OW116 binaries and boot media images have been tested using online virus scanners (http://virusscan.jotti.org).
The Kaspersky and the VBA32 virus scanners raise a flag, other virus scanners do not report problems.

XOSL-OW116 does not contain any virus. By investigating the XOSL-OW116 source code one can conclude that the flags raised by Kaspersky and VBA32 are false positives.

2. XOSL Installer - Video Memory

For Video Adapters with a Video Memory of more than 32 MB the XOSL installer will report an incorrect Video Memory Size. The Video Memory Size reported during XOSL installation is for informative purpose only and will not affect successful installation of XOSL.
The root cause is known and a solution has been identified. This solution will be implemented in a future release of XOSL-OW.

3. XOSL Installer - PS2 Mouse Detection

During XOSL installation PS Mouse detection might sometimes fail on specific PC platforms. When it fails the keyboard will no longer be responsive. To recover from this condition it is needed to power off the PC, reboot and retry.
Failing PS2 Mouse detection during XOSL installation has been observed on a single PC platform, an Acer Aspire notebook. On this specific system the PS2 Mouse detection fails 1 out of 2 to 3 attempts. The behavior is only seen during the XOSL installation procedure. The behavior does not occur after successful installation, that is, in normal XOSL boot manager mode.
It's unclear if this behavior is related to XOSL or if this behavior is related to an issue with the Acer BIOS implementation.
