There's lots of "use 2.6" messages here, but does anyone have a list of
what doesnt work/needs work list for general desktop machines before I
take the leap?
   

It's not really a leap as you can swap kernels back and forth with only
a reboot, no need to recompile everything or any such sillyness :)
Personally I have problems with my logitech mx700 mouse (ps2).  There 
were speed issues (different sampling method or something) which are
solved with a kernel parameter (search the archives) but with the same
X config my extra buttons and scroll wheel have stopped working
properly.  This is the only reason I'm not back with 2.4 for my desktop

Hmm, my mouse wheel (Fujitsu-Siemens mouse) does work. Here's the 
XF86Config section,
maybe it helps (snipped all the comments). XF86 version is 4.3.0:

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Mouse1"
   Driver      "mouse"
   Option "Protocol"    "imps/2"
   Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"
   Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
