See KubuntuLaptopButtons specification for more details how this will be addressed for Edgy.
- Other keys, have properly assigned xkeysyms, just that some operations do not work yet (Sleep, Battery, Presentation) as no action is assigned.
CLOSED: KsCD: does not play audio CDs - FIXED in Edgy RC
fglrx drivers from ATI: make 3D acceleration support
I have used the instructions listed under BinaryDriverHowto/ATI.
Breezy: fixes hibernation (which does not work with "ati" driver)
Dapper: fixes suspend to RAM (which does not work without workaround with "ati" driver)
Edgy: fixes lid close screen corruption
CLOSED: Dapper Flight2: eth0 down after boot - FIXED in Flight3
CLOSED: Dapper Flight3-Release; Edgy Knot1/2: monitor layout not auto detected (blank screen after install) - FIXED in Edgy RC
CLOSED: Dapper Flight4: ipw2200 module need hwcrypto=0 to work - FIXED in Flight6
Dapper Beta-Release/Edgy RC: after opening lid, display is in wrong resolution ("ati" driver) - 40808
When closing lid, display is blank as it should, but after reopening I just get completely strange resolution as I can only see what is the mouse arrow (which is approximately 3 times the original size and stretched). This is only with "ati" driver, while "fglrx" driver does not have this problem.
Workaround: you can get back to normal by switching consoles (Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F7).
CLOSED: Dapper Beta-Release: suspend to RAM works, but resume needs help ("ati" driver) - FIXED in Edgy RC
Dapper Flight4-Release: system hangs on restart of X server with fglrx - #30447
When X server is restarted it may hang the system. This only happens with "fglrx" driver, while "ati" works as expected.
Workaround: add (uncomment) the line TerminateServer=true in section [X-:*-Core] in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc file
CLOSED: Edgy Knot2: Desktop CD boots into white stripes - FIXED in Edgy RC
CLOSED: Edgy RC: wrong resolution detected by Desktop CD - Fixed in Gutsy Tribe5
Edgy Knot1-RC: battery info does not change after hibernate/resume - #63123
Hibernate works, but after resume battery information does not get updated anymore. Info is not updated already on kernel level (/proc/acpi/battery/*/*). Sometimes it helps if AC adapter is unplugged and plugged.
CLOSED: Feisty Beta-Release: regression - blanks screen with live CD after xorg 7.2 update - FIXED in Gutsy Tribe5
Next note should go here...
