Current Issues
Graphical installer fails when loading ACPI modules. Text based install possible with acpi=off followed by upgrading the Kernel to 2.6.20-16, installing the intel driver for GM965 and setting up the xserver. After this you get a desktop but no power management. To get Power Management working, blacklist video and remove the acpi=off from /boot/grub/menu.lst. Uses Restricted Intel Pro/Wireless 3945 Network Connection Driver (wireless network itself works ok).
(*1) 3D Acceleration - glxgears give 1570 FPS and 3D Acceleration is reported as yes. 2D desktop works perfectly but freezes and crashes using 3D screensavers, Beryl/Compiz or Compiz-Fusion
Update 14/07/07 with the latest updates of the mesa/dri/gl Beryl/Compiz is not freezing anymore. 3D screensavers also run ok now.
(*2) Sleep - After waking up from Sleep/Suspend, the screen back light is not switched back on again. Pressing Fn+Arrow Up (Brightness up) will switch on the back light.

Notes
To get Festy working you could try the following
1. Use text based install from alternate CD via textmode
2. After reboot, switch to the command line (CTRL+ALT+F1) and update the kernel
sudo apt-get update
and
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
3. Install the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
and reconfigure the xorg.conf
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Select the intel driver and set the color depth to 16 bits.
4. reboot and the xserver works but you don't get power management. To get the Power Management working:
add line "blacklist video" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove acpi=off
Reboot and you should have a working desktop
