Some days ago I upgraded my Gibbons to Heron and I had to change some small thing to make everything work well.
First of all I had to change xorg.conf to make my touchpad works again, I think it is a problem related to the last realease of xorg, not to ubuntu.

The second problem was orginated by wi-fi card. Obviously I had to recompile madwifi driver for the new kernel, but this time I followed a little different way.
sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion autoconf automake
svn co http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk madwifi
cd madwifi
make
sudo make install-modules
echo -e ‘#!/bin/sh\n/sbin/iwpriv ath0 bgscan 0′ | sudo tee -a /etc/acpi/resume.d/99-madwifi-bgscan.sh
sudo chmod 755 /etc/acpi/resume.d/99-madwifi-bgscan.sh
Now I am using kubuntu with kde4 on my mbp and I think it is quite good even if kd4 still suffers of a lot of problems. But it is usable and I always like to try different and innovative things.
