Every new release, you can pretty much expect that there will be some number of glitches like this, especially with the absolute newest hardware, since so few people have it, few people are likely to test it and report bugs in time they can be fixed. The only alternative is to just not add any new support for hardware until we physically have it to test with. That is a bad idea though, as the majority of new hardware support that gets added works well, even if we don't have the hardware. Just discuss problems here, and report them in bugzilla once confirmed to be a legit bug, or flaw. Thanks, TTYL -- Mike A.
