== Current Issues ==
## List any issues you have with the current development release here

 * Screen & Monitor issues:
  * /!\ Very Very rarely. Image heavily disturbed (flickering) if framebuffer is enabled: kind of resolution is to switch to console ''CTRL-ALT-F1'' and switch back to X ''ALT-F7'' every time you have this issue. Another fix may be disable framebuffer: add ''vga=normal'' to boot options, but you will lose splash screen at boot. [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/24270|#24270]]


 * ACPI issues:
  * '''Sleep'''
   * {X} the system fails when restarting with this debug message: ''[numbers.numbers] Rebooting System.'' [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/29695|#29695]]


 * Wireless issues:
  * /!\ ipw2200 doesn't retain the card status (radio on/radio off) after a reboot, but it does for hibernate/suspend [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/37010|#37010]]


 * Additional Hardware issues:
  * {X} SD/MMC Card reader not supported. there is a [[http://mmc.drzeus.cx/wiki/|project]] which is trying to develop some driver. [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/36964|#36964]]


 * Function and other keys issues:
  * {X} '''MAJOR! (resolved)''' {X} Don't press Fn+F8 because it freezes the system at all [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/36885|#36885]]
  <<BR>> (./) This hangup can be bypassed disabling the local APIC support in the kernel. You can do this editing /boot/grub/menu.lst: append the string '''nolapic''' at the end of kopt= and kopt_2_6= lines. The file might look like this<<BR>>
  ''# kopt=root=UUID=7da2f35d-c9b8-4a7a-8fba-81a488a1c2d0 ro nolapic<<BR>># kopt_2_6=root=/dev/hda7 ro nolapic''<<BR>>
  Then launch ''''sudo update-grub''''
  * {X} Power4gear hotkey not correctly handled: its functionality is '''not to lock the screen''' but to switch between some predefined power profiles (powersave, dynamic, performance...) [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/35791|#35791]]
  * /!\ Touchpad button not working: SHMConfig option is insecure and not enabled by default [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/37234|#37234]]

=== Notes ===

* Graphic card (using the opensource radeon driver, default)
 * The graphic card does not really work well with desktop effects enabled. You should disable it to have a normal performance
 * The graphic card does not render well some animations. You should add the Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" in xorg.conf to have a normal performance
