So far my experience: Bad pointers: - Still have to press Fn + F5 to make wireless active each time I boot. - When the screen goes to rest (blank), it just covers the screen with black, while it's still on. I have to press Fn + F2 to actually make the screen blank (shut it off). It would be nice if it would do this automatically. - When browsing with Epiphany (just starting it and it begins to load), when on wireless, the kernel will panic. This will not happen for example when I'm running a stream on Rhythmbox, nor does any of this happen when I just use an Ethernet connection. - I got a few minor errors when installing the kernel, I believe samgee already reported those at the very beginning. - Still no WPA/WPA2 listing in network-admin application, only WEP Hex and ASCII. - Would have been nice if the package information of the kernel and wireless driver was properly filled in. - Don't know if it's in an issue, but with the new wireless driver, for some reason during kernel boot, it renames the wireless connection to wlan1, each time. - Whenever I (re)boot, the brightness level is one value before the highest value. It seems then when you shutdown/reboot the system sets it to this. Awesome pointers: - Battery indicator out of the box! Yay! - When you press Fn + F2 now, the screen actually shuts off. Before it seemed as if it just blackened it and put the brightness on lowest point. What I have yet to test: - See if webcam compatibility with different applications improved (such as Ekiga). - See if I still get a kernel panic when plugging in my Openmoko Neo Freerunner. - See if I can only allow one application to have audio at the time. For example, when having Rhythmbox on, I won't be hearing Gajim sounds. But don't know if this is kernel related, I doubt it. And a general question, a gnubie question really. Is there anyway to apply updates, without rebooting to have them in use? Sometimes I read on websites boasting about how GNU/Linux systems can even update the kernel, without having to reboot. - Fred _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
