Here is a draft for the release notes:

== Desktop effects and Intel 830MG and 845G video cards ==

There is a bug in the intel video driver for the older intel 830 and 845 integrated video cards that are used on laptops like the IBM R30. Desktop effects with compiz will not work on those chips and freeze the system. Please install using the safe graphics mode (press F4 in the startup screen) on these systems and disable desktop effects via "System/Preferences/Appearance" and click on "Visual effects" and "None".
