OK, so got a Pi to extend my media into the kitchen. It's running OE 4.0.7. It's not overclocked and everything is pretty much stock apart from the MySQL shared libraries.
Issue - Although the Pi has so far played everything flawlessly, when in the menu screens (stock confluence skin), parts of the menu 'white out'. This is particularly evident in some of the settings screens, where the right hand side of the screen (with the actual settings) appears whiter and much more washed out than the rest.
To be honest, it's not such an issue that I couldn't live with it. After all, I don't spend that much time changing settings, but if there is a cure for it, then I'd appreciate it.
The only other thing I have noticed versus my other Linux installs, is that sometimes the edge of the main menu bar seems to flash brighter for a second or so. This isn't my eyes but it might be related to the cheap IR receiver picking up spurious stuff. It's almost as if the remote is flicking up to the 'recently added' widget and then back down again.
Other than these GUI issues, it's a remarkable piece of kit and I can see more purchases looming. BTW, even though the B+ is now out, its a model B, bought 2 days ago.
I can probably get screengrabs if it would help although 'white out' describes it well. It's like turning up the brightness and contrast on just a part of the screen.
TIA for any info
