My only problem was black screen when resuming but only If I'd network driver installed.
I think i had both behaviours. After adding the lines to give the USB port power to wake up, I think it just doen't seem to repsond to the USB remote to wake up.

Do you have xbmc freak unstable beta2 version running? You need kernel 2.6.32-25-generic for working mce remote wakeup, with default dharma2/lucid kernel it won't work.

froggit Wrote:Yep, as peterbo says, there definitely is WLAN in the box.
See this post for getting and installing the 1.09 BIOS:

Then in the new BIOS there is a "wireless always on" option which you will probably want to set.
Oh cheers Peterbo and Froggit, excellent help. I was about to order a usb wireless dongle too
Works great now, thanks guys

Just curious guys - does anyone have idle temps for the XS35? I'm pretty keen to hopefully keep the XS35 running 24/7 - (NAS/Torrent box) - what's the 'resting' temps like?
- stiggs - 2010-09-21
Has anyone else noticed that the wireless seems pretty weak. After I moved the shuttle downstairs and away from the modem I could not even get a signal whereas my laptop (beside it) was running great. I moved the modem to the next room and the signal was good but it kept flicking between internet access and no internet access, to the point where a web page wouldnt open- my laptop had a stable connection the all the time

cpu was 48°C and gfx was 53°C after watching a 2hr 1080p movie. the box has been runing for like 2 days now, seems like there's no heat problems at all, at least if it's standing freely. i wouldn't want to use a vesa mount tho as that would probably reduce a significant part of the airflow.

the wireless seems ok here - as long as i don't use the bluetooth dongle. that seems to interfere too much.
maybe your notebook is using a 5ghz connection? the xs35gt only has 2.4ghz wifi

Awesome - that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
If you feel the need to burn some time (
) - are you able to give me some temps for idle? But those 2hr/1080p temps are really low when you consider what the ION/ION2 platform puts out.

my temperatures are around
idle: 50°C cpu / 59°C vga
after few hours running : 55°C cpu / 64°C
ambient temperature: 25.5°C
my original fanless ION system was running up to 70°C-75°C without problem. During hot summer days (ambient temperature 30°C+) it could run around 80°C and some of 1080p movies started stuttering because of CPU/VGA throttling.

Thanks for that - I can live with that quite easily..

That explains it then. I'm using the XBMC dharma beta 2 live, which uses kernel 2.6.32-24 if I remember correctly.
Suspend/resume is not a critical feature for me, as it's easy just to shutdown after watching a movie, but when it's fixed in a later release, it will be nice to have.
Thanks a lot.
XS35GT: What do you think? - froggit - 2010-09-21
Well, after running XBMC Dharma beta 2 Live on this shiny new XS35GT using a wired network, I can say that it seems to run really well, so I am very happy with this device.
The machine seems to have enough power to give a fast, responsive user interface, and judging from the video content I have viewed on it so far, everything seems to work very well. I'm using an SSD instead of a 2.5" HDD, so this makes things a bit faster, no doubt, and certainly silent.
What do others think of it so far?
- ezechiel1917 - 2010-09-21
I'm quite happy too. Only minor issue remaining is flashing white LED in suspend mode.

Yeah, and that's not too much of a show-stopper is it?
- froggit - 2010-09-21
BTW, this OCZ Onyx SSD I'm using has TRIM support.
I'm wondering whether Ubuntu 2.6.32-24 that xbmc dharma beta live uses has TRIM support or not. Anyone know?
Somewhere I saw that 2.6.33 kernel is required to support TRIM, but my search so far was a bit inconclusive.
