At this moment the HP Envy is hopeless with -current - I get 'USB device error, port disabled' whichever port I use, the live stick is not recognised and I cannot even take the dmesg.boot. At the same time, on the same laptop, 7.99.59 works reasonably OK, no USB problems, Xorg starts using VESA on the Intel card, no dri (glxgears dumps core).
The obvious difference between the two versions are the ACPI messages - 8.99.6 issues many errors here, 7.99.59 complains about unrecognised devices but carries on. Not much help, but adds to the picture.
