Current Issues

Wireless needs acer_wmi, which finally works but is still not modprobed and used by default.

Compiz doesn't work with open drivers (it just says

  • Found laptop using ati driver. aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity

). But for instance ppracer does (almost fluently), and glxgears too.

Sleep (suspend to RAM) never works (it did under Gutsy, it usually did under Hardy).
