last night i passed 2/3 tests. the third (guided resize) i originally passed but i later deleted it because i realized in my sleep deprivation i didn't follow the test procedure correctly (i failed to do the subtests). unfortunately, i didn't have the original iso to re-test.

today lars passed 2/3 tests. he failed the guided resize. i ran that one myself, this time using the correct procedure, and it passed fine. the only grey bug i had that wasn't the known issue with nVidia was with the calculations on the resizing. no big deal, says balloons, but worth noting.

that being said, should we call that an honest pass? what else can i do to help?

as phill says above, those are the places. i put the known workaround for nVidia which has served me well on every test i've done [1]. i didn't post this in the PPCFAQ because it's documented in way more detail there.

i know there are other issues but as far as i know they're with Radeon. i have a Radeon machine i can run a live CD on but as it's borrowed i can't do an install on it so i'm afraid i can't help much here.

this being said, will everyone please post known issues and work arounds!!!! i've asked this before, but apparently i'm the only one who's gotten around to doing something.
