santa rosa macbook pro in feisty/gutsy

Hello,

I am wondering, are the new santa rosa chipset macbook pros expected or hoped to be working smoothly "out of the box" with gutsy? There are currently many known bugs at ubuntuforums.org that are not reported in launchpad. These mainly focus around sound (doesn't work), suspend (ditto), and fan speed control (missing in gutsy; a heat concern). Sound seems to be particularly troublesome; even recompiling a new alsa did not work for the people I've seen discuss the issue.

These three threads summarize the situation (mostly w/ feisty):

There are also many untriaged bugs in launchpad dealing with older versions of the MB/MBP. One report involving a new MBP from the start of June discusses not being able to boot from gutsy tribe 1 live cd (probably a video issue, as he could boot from alternate). Anyway, I appreciate everyone's work on ubuntu and mac/intel hardware. :)

thanks for reading,

Brian
