Current Issues
On Gutsy:
X freezes after few minutes when Compiz is enabled. See 108527. I had to turn off 3d acceleration which is enabled in a default installation!
3d acceleration and desktop effects can be activated using restricted ATI driver fglrx and GL-based X server xserver-xgl. Unluckily this driver doesn't permit hibernation nor suspension
During startup splash screen is not visible (screen is completely blank). See 150930.
- As a result of this issue boot process takes very long: usplash process eats all CPU resources.
- This problem seems related only to installations made with live/desktop edition (alternate installation method isn't affected)
Gnome Power Manager doesn't display brightness control on preferences (I had to modify gconf settings in /apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight/). Brightness applet doesn't work. See 134756
