Also, I meant to mention that since there is no known global issue, but
individual bugs with specific hardware, please open a new bug report for
each different hardware configuration - it is much easier to close bug
reports as duplicates than to manage one bug report with 15 issues with
different root causes & fixes for each. (After all, if we fix the issue
with Roman's hardware, and then mark the bug fixed, no one would be working
on any other hardware issues if they just pile onto a closed bug.)
