=== Notes ===
1. ''CLOSED: Default font sizes: default font size is huge on 147 DPI display - FIXED in Dapper Beta''
1. '''Special keys''': by default wireless and brightness keys work (as they are HW keys). - [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/46948|#46948]]
Other keys, have properly assigned xkeysyms, just that some operations do not work yet (Sleep, Battery, Presentation) as no action is assigned.

1. ''CLOSED: KsCD: does not play audio CDs - FIXED in Edgy RC''
1. '''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
1. ''CLOSED: Dapper Flight2: eth0 down after boot - FIXED in Flight3''
1. ''CLOSED: Dapper Flight3-Release; Edgy Knot1/2: monitor layout not auto detected (blank screen after install) - FIXED in Edgy RC''
1. ''CLOSED: Dapper Flight4: ipw2200 module need hwcrypto=0 to work - FIXED in Flight6''
1. '''Dapper Beta-Release/Edgy RC: after opening lid, display is in wrong resolution ("ati" driver)''' - [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/40808|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).
1. ''CLOSED: Dapper Beta-Release: suspend to RAM works, but resume needs help ("ati" driver) - FIXED in Edgy RC''
1. '''Dapper Flight4-Release: system hangs on restart of X server with fglrx''' - [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/30447|#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
1. ''CLOSED: Edgy Knot2: Desktop CD boots into white stripes - FIXED in Edgy RC''
1. ''CLOSED: Edgy RC: wrong resolution detected by Desktop CD - Fixed in Gutsy Tribe5''
1. '''Edgy Knot1-RC: battery info does not change after hibernate/resume''' - [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/63123|#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.
1. ''CLOSED: Feisty Beta-Release: regression - blanks screen with live CD after xorg 7.2 update - FIXED in Gutsy Tribe5''
1. ''Next note should go here...''
