Current Issues

Does not boot in Feisty Herd 3, see [https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/83595 Bug #83595]. I can't really test anything else until that works.

In all releases, the following error shows up at boot. This error does not seem to affect anything though. [https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/32342 Bug #32342]

Notes

Edgy

robert@satellite:~$ uname -a

The right-side Alt key does not work. Sad :-(

Anchor(Install2)

Installation

Partition formatted as reiserfs is not recognized for use as a root partition, but all the installer says is "no root partition selected" even if the reiserfs partition is selected for the root partition.

Dapper

Anchor(3dAccel)

3D Acceleration

ATI RADEON Xpress 200M only works when I install driver from ATI, build and install fglrx from their sources, and modify xorg.conf with aticonfig.

Anchor(Sleep)

Sleep

Computer sleeps and the sleep button flashes as expected, but the computer recovers to a blank screen.

Anchor(Wireless)

Wireless NIC

Support for the AR5006EG was put into [http://www.madwifi.org/ MadWifi] on around 26-Dec-2006, but they have not released a new version yet. I built my drivers on 24-Jan-2007 using the [http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Ubuntu MadWifi Wiki Instructions] and they seem to be working really well.

Anchor(Function)

Function & Other Keys

[Fn + F10] and [Fn + F11] seem to be hardware controlled, so it does not seem to be Ubuntu's fault that those two function combinations are working. I have tried all the methods in ["HotkeyResearch"], but I cannot get the function combinations to generate keycodes. For example, when I press [Fn + F1], only the keycode for [F1] shows up.
