Current Issues
Final Breezy installs but X fails to start. The last known version of the xserver-xorg-driver-ati package to work is 6.8.2-75. Unfortunately I only tested the daily generated the day before RC and that was working, and subsequent updates did not bring in the new X versions (-76 and -77) because of my fault. To workaround the installer throwing you in the console, add Option "noaccel" to the driver section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf after installation finishes. Then gdm should start but screen redraw will be slow. On i386 you can install the .deb attached to the bug linked below.

Notes
There's one regeression I see from breezy, the mouse sometimes dead on resume The speakers mute on resume problem is the same as in breezy better than breezy: 3D with the free driver out of the box and probably the sd/mmc reader (not tested)
(Joseph Heled) Another breezy regression seem to be the external monitor. Under default install the KDE control panel fails to set it up. When resurrecting the working breezy xorg.conf, external monitor mirroring sort of works - it flickers which seems to indicate it got either the resoultion or refresh rate wrong (the LCD external monitor has the same resolution of the laptop and worked fine with breezy). Other annoying features include failure of KDE monitor control panel with the modified xrog.conf and the screen coming up in 640x480 when X starts up with an external monitor plugged in. (I am running dapper with the latest updates). It is fair to mention that I got the laptop back with a new motherboard (after it fried itself in less than a year), so the display hardware may have changed. I know that the etherent and wireless have been transposed (eth0 <==> eth1)
I have a wireless keyboard/mouse attached, and from time to time the mouse goes dead. removing and re-inserting the usb receiver restores the mouse. (keyboard is fine throuout)
