Re: Hardware related test cases.
I've added an entry for vivid; feel free to use any daily build and report results. http://laptop.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/330/builds The important thing is to test early and often, and file good bug reports. Doing this provides the best chance at having the issue fixed before release.

Gabriel, the alphas are released and thus there won't be any more alpha milestones in the tracker for Vivid.

Re: Hardware related test cases.
Just remember that installing release candidates aren't guaranteed to be any stabler or better in quality than PPA's used to test software during the development. Always take backups.
