List of known problems:

When Installing over older versions remove all .Obj and .Sym files from the Oberon root directory. These files now reside in System/ and if there are files in the oberon root directory they will be produce key mismatch errors.
If you experience problems with the middle mouse button (e.g. popup elements do not work properly) you have most probably enabled the ChordMiddle option in XF86Config. If so, disable it (not needed) and restart XWindow / Oberon. Everything should work fine then.
