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

 * Hibernation does not work with nvidia proprietary driver (resume fails).
 * With the 7742-NCG, standby only works with nvidia's proprietary driver, not with the standard driver.
 * External display does not work with nvidia proprietary driver when using Fn-keys, you must use nvidia-settings utility.
 * Sometimes after suspend resume or user switch there is only white screen on model 8918-DEG. Just write your password on blind and hit enter, you will return to your desktop without problems. This only happens with nvidia driver.

== Notes ==
## Add any notes here

Franko30 added the 7742-NCG model to this report, as it only has a different CPU.

The R61 7742-NCG freezes completely with 8.04 when ejecting multibay battery and/or DVD. System has to be powered down to change multibay modules.

=== Back and Forward keys (Hardy only) ===
Does not work by default in Hardy, but it's not hard to enable them. Open Terminal and run this command:
{{{
echo -e 'keycode 234 = XF86Back\nkeycode 233 = XF86Forward' >> ~/.Xmodmap
}}}
Log out and in again. Ubuntu will ask you if you want to include `~/.Xmodmap` file in your keyboard configuration, include it and confirm. That's it.

If you don't receive any dialog, you can use `gconf-editor` to set keys `/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/general/known_file_list` and `/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/general/update_handlers` to value `[.Xmodmap]`.

If you are not using Gnome, run this command in your session manager after login:
{{{
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
}}}

=== Simultaneous playing of many audio sources (Hardy only) ===
After default Ubuntu 8.04 install, there is some problem when playing multiple audio sources:

 * Totem and Rhythmbox plays simultaneously (as any GStream applications)
 * Rhythmbox and most games (Extreme Tux Racer, Frozen Bubble) does not play simultaneously
 * Rhythmbox and flash videos does not play simultaneously

To fix this, as [[RootSudo|root]] edit file `/etc/pulse/default.pa`:
{{{
gksudo gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa
}}}
find this line:
{{{
load-module module-hal-detect
}}}
and change it to this:
{{{
#load-module module-hal-detect
}}}
Also to the end of the file add these two lines:
{{{
load-module module-alsa-sink
load-module module-alsa-source
}}}

Save file, close editor, logout and log in again. The sound should work now in most cases simultaneously.
