My Colony 4 Report (Arima W720-K8M laptop)

[Carey O'Shea]

* Login screen loads slowly, bit-by-bit it takes 1-2 seconds to load the 
orange ubuntu login screen graphic, and it makes it appear slow and 
dodgy. Hoary loads the login screen instantly. My laptop has a SiS M760 
(Mirage 2 Core) video card, and I tried getting some other SiS drivers 
and also tried disabling dri, however it still loads slowly. Any ideas?

* Administration -> `Disks` doesn't allow me to change the access path. 
I open it up, click on a partition which was already mounted on 
/media/hda3, then I choose "change" and no matter what I choose it won't 
take affect, not after pressing OK or even after disabling/enabling the 
partition. I have to edit /etc/fstab manually.

* Preferences -> `Login Photo`, shouldn't this be tied in with the login 
screen setup? Because this doesn't have any effect until you change the 
login screen to a theme with a browser, which may not be so obvious to 
many people.

* Usplash completely absent on my machine. I did have to do the VGA=771 
option at installation, but removing that option from my boot config did 
not show the usplash. Any ideas?

* My CardBus does not function. I have an "ENE CD1410" CardBus 
controller, and it does not recieve an IRQ and thus spams "unable to 
apply power" messages all over the place. This particular CardBus is 
used in many laptops (eg eMachines, Total Periperhals, Arima, many 
others). It's a Kernel ACPI issue and has actually been fixed already in 
the 2.6.13 kernel (among numerous other things). 2.6.13 has been stable 
for a number of weeks now, so will Breezy use kernel 2.6.13 to resolve 
these show-stoppers? Please.

Here is the log of my CardBus:

And here is the output from `lspci -vv` of my ENE CardBus Controller:

* Also the update notifier dropdown window is ugly IMO, although I'm 
sure this is already known and maybe fixed.

That's all for now. Keep up the great work!
