OK, I admit it, I am a noob with RPi and openSUSE.

I am trying to get omxplayer working on my opensuse:FACTORY image without much luck. I keep getting errors about nothing providing libEGL.so. I have MESA-EGL1 installed and /usr/lib/libEGL.so.1 is present. Digging around via google, I found mentions of vc (Video Core) files (including the libbcm_host file I also get errors about).

You should not install Mesa-* packages but raspberrypi-gfx package.

I have added the Essentials and Multimedia repositories (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-arm/2013-09/msg00116.html) and then tried installing omxplayer and get the nothing provides libEGL.so needed by error.

Can anyone give a pointer?

Please remove Mesa* packages and then reinstall raspberrypi-gfx package. Guillaume

Strange, you should have it in your pre-installed repositories on your image. I monkeyed around a lot of stuff to get xfce installed. It may have gotten whacked in the process. Definitely one that should be added to the base repo.

I am documenting my config here with some info to help others who may try to follow.

Here's where I sit (and pretty happily too)

config.txt disable_overscan=1 gpu_mem=80 arm_freq=900 sdram_freq=450 core_freq=450 over_voltage=3 force_turbo=1 hdmi_drive=2 (at least for the moment) decode_MPG2=xxxxxxx decode_WVC1=xxxxxxx

Be careful with overclocking (especially over voltage). It may void your warranty.

Not overly concerned with warranty, but certainly appreciate the caution.

openSUSE:Factory installed and updated Split install (moved / and all subs to USB stick)

Are you able to boot directly from USB or do you have a dummy SD card which just allow to boot on your USB stick?

/boot is on sd still. I haven't found anything that makes me think I would be successful booting from USB.

...

/ is ext4 xfce4 desktop environment installed raspberrypi-gfx from software.opensuse.org (factory) installed zramswap from software.opensuse.org zramswap installed and enabled for 64MB added Multimedia and Essentials Repos http://pmbs.links2linux.de:82/Essentials/openSUSE_Factory_ARM/ http://pmbs.links2linux.de:82/Multimedia/openSUSE_Factory_ARM/ installed omxplayer

Is omxplayer working fine now?

Yes it is. Runs like a champ.

...

midori for web browsing (is there a better, lightweight browser)?

With nothing running except xfce4 the system utilizes around 90MB of RAM

Things to follow up on: 1 - test iscsi-initiator further. In limited testing, it was alway reporting lun size of 0, could be config error. 2 - search for more performance tweaks to OS, config.txt 3 - add a wireless card? I have a USB wifi which is not too bad: WiPi. 4 - move to a much faster USB stick for / 5 - Add heatsinks (and maybe fan) and OC to 1Ghz?

I would prefer a heatsink so that you do not get noise.

Was thinking of both. I have some very small, low speed fans that would be ideal for quietly moving a low volume of air through the case.

...

If anyone sees anything I should change, let me know.

Thanks for sharing good or bad things with openSUSE on your RPi.

You guys have done a great job with the image so far. I am looking forward to having a solid 13.1 image to put on the RPi devices I will give away at SuperComputing 2013 in Nov. Next to try is a 32bit power dev board with an appropriate openSUSE build. :)
