M8.5 B4 bug list
I'll start with wireless: the last few betas simply don't see my BCM4306 chipset. I know how to fix it, but newbies won't and I see no reason for this not to work OOTB.
Anybody else?

If you have 3D/Desktop Effects enabled (default) and for e.g., it's initially OpenGL but you change it to XRender, it changes to that but you can't change back.
There is a message that the attempt failed.

I believe it's the firmware that's needed. bcm or something fw-cutter

He used to have ndiswrapper enabled by default, and use the Windows drivers he had stored. Now the thing runs fine with the b43 kernel module, so I think that just has to be loaded at boot. I don't think any firmware is involved with this.
Since we know that there are commands that will return the name of the chipset, I fail to understand why a simple array could not be set up to querry the chipset, find the driver, and set it up--without the user ever seeing the process. But there are a lot of such things I fail to understand...

Still no joy with flashplugin in 64-bit. I get the same problem in Mint and Sidux (both deb - no non-deb 64-bit to check with) so I guess it's something with my system.
Athlon 2800+ 64-bit, nvidia geforce 6200, 1.5GB RAM, ASRock K8Upgrade-VM800 I've tried both the mozilla and the non-free plugins and the terminal fix suggested by WW.

Information that pops up when inserted in a Windows machine (on D:/info/index.html talks about MEPIS Linux 8.0 also displays the old KDE 3.5 images.
