I'm still going through the history of messages on the list, so pardon me 
if these have been covered already.

1.  On my setup, I'm getting a smaller graphical screen resolution 
(including on the text console) than 1920x1080.  I've tried fiddling with 
the hdmi_mode and hdmi_group settings, but I still only am getting 
1824x984 on the display.

2.  It seems the snd_bcm2835 module isn't set up to autoload.  I added it 
into a file in /etc/modules-load.d/ and that seems to have resolved it.

3.  I'm happy to report that lightdm works well with e17 as a desktop.  I 
was unable to get gdm to work properly, and just setting the window 
manager in /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager to run e17 didn't work, but 
selecting it with lightdm did.  I did, however, run into a SEGV error 
with e17 if I enabled hardware acceleration (I thought the pi had 
hardware accel available - but maybe I misunderstood the specs).

4.  The issues I mentioned on factory with library dependencies being 
missing to get mopidy working are not a problem with the 13.1 image and 
its repositories.

5.  I did run into the partition size issue for the BOOT partition, which 
probably was to be expected.  Once I did that and had the system 
connected to my projector, I was pleased to see the firstboot process 
that was in place.  My wireless adapter (using the rt2800 driver, it 
looks like) was detected and ran perfectly.  That also was a change over 
the image on the wiki page - with that one, I had to install the firmware 
to get it working.

6.  I noticed a number of services running that I hadn't asked for - cups/
cupsd in particular, but also modemmanager.  Is there a reason that those 
services are configured to start automatically, rather than requiring the 
user explicitly enable them?  (It seems like only necessary services - 
sshd, network, GUI if installed, Avahi - should be enabled by default, 
given the memory footprint considerations).
