Hi, I am new on the list, but hope I can help in some way along the journey. I have an Asus R2Hv which has a PentiumM processor - it does not have SSE3 support (only SSE2). Can I install one of the images for the eee701 and then add the Moblin repositories? Also, which Xorg is being used? I tried this machine with the standard 11.1, but Xorg fails on the intel driver. It seems a fix has been made upstream, but isn't available in Xorg 7.4. The R2Hv has an Intel Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML graphics controller with a 7" 800x480 display. Is there a live image I can try before installing? Thanks, Allen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+help@opensuse.org

Welcome; great to have you around :-)

So - that sounds fine; last I checked we don't turn on any of the SSE3 optimisations during compile time, so (in contrast to the Intel builds) - you should be fine. That opens the question as to whether we should in fact turn them on ;-) quite possibly we should - particularly for glibc's memory copy / movement logic I guess.

If you can, you might want to try adding the Moblin:Factory repo, and doing a zypper dup - that should give you the latest Xorg that we use [ and latest kernel too with luck ].
Is there a live image I can try before installing?
Thus far, no - Andrew was working on one I believe - it's mostly a matter of twiddling the kiwi file in a sensible way, and then waiting for the re-build. If you wanted to look at that, it'd be most welcome - in the Moblin:Images/Image-opensuse repo there is the kiwi file - that needs tweaking [ are you on #opensuse-moblin on freenode ? ].

Not true, I do not think the kernel will boot properly, but I could be wrong about this. Please test the image and let us know if it works or not. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+help@opensuse.org

I downloaded and tried the GenericGNOME.i686 but the kernel could not load because it requires the pae cpu extension.

Yes, moblin will not work on this hardware, sorry. You need a newer processor. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+help@opensuse.org
