I've had the opposite experience with SuSE. I just got a new laptop (Toshiba A75[1]) and it took SuSE 9.2 beautifully. Detected all the hardware without problems. The only problems I had are: * screen resolution -- 1280x800 wasn't detected, but a simple trip to sax2 allowed me to easily fix this. * touchpad sensitivity is sporadic (often have to tap hard in order to use double-click without using the buttons) * powersaved has problems -- had to disable it to shutdown properly -- haven't had time to troubleshoot Everything else detected and works great... including wireless [Atheros] and 3D [ATI] (bzflag is running nicely). And yast is one of my favorite parts of SuSE. This is my second laptop with SuSE. My first was a Thinkpad R50p (running SuSE 9.0) which worked great as well.... even the 1600x(something) resolution. -Dan [1] http://tinyurl.com/54c44 .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
