ID	Severity	Product	Status	Resolution	Summary (6 tasks) ⇒	Assignee

4062	major	Mer	RESOLVED	FIXED	Installer crashes when writing a bootmenu item in advanced-mode for external card.	Carsten Munk

Bootmenu does not play well with clone-to-SD systems. You will have to make a bootmenu item yourself (ask on #maemo about this) (someone document how to make an .item)
Sometimes after updates the touchscreen of the tables stop working or isn't calibrated, this is because the 'xserver-xorg-input-synaptics' package are installed, to fix it do "sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics" in a terminal.
X driver for omapfb does not use Manual updates yet and hence can be a bit slow in updating the screen which may give the impression the system is slow.
Rotation in advanced-backlight kills the X server
Duplicate application menu happens
WiFi dies on N8x0 after sleep / idling
No charging screen on flashable image

Disclaimer:

There is -no- warranty. This may blow up your MMC, steal your wife or cause doomsday to come around. But if you find some bugs, please report them on bugs.maemo.org and we'll try to see what we can do to fix the bug causing it.
If anything goes wrong, grab a USB cable, and rescue mode is done through holding down Home key when booting Mer (on tablets)
