x1400 series laptop card seems to work quite well. I had several issues initially but I found (and posted) that obtaining a newer xorg seemed to fix all my issues except one.
See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2013-05/msg00970.html
The only remaining issue is if desktop effects is on, sound can become very "stuttery" but simply not using so much bling solves that problem. This is due solely to Mesa I believe.
The problem occurs regardless of whether I have desktop effects / compositing enabled. And since the problem has existed through the last 5 or 6 versions of openSUSE I cannot imagine using the latest xorg will make any difference. Thanks for responding though. Given the post history on this list of recent days it seems that unless I make some reference to and have a heated philosophical debate about the merits or otherwise of systemd then nobody is going to pay a blind bit of notice or be motivated to reply. I just experienced this problem at the earliest stage ever, causing consistent pauses and hangs in typing my password at the KDM login screen. Unfortunately I had another two failed boots after that trying with nomodeset so I didn't save the log file, not that posting such a thing seems to inspire anybody to investigate further anyway. Oh well, looks like this laptop will sooner rather than later be destined for the mid-Pacific waste mountain where it can happily pollute a few thousand fish and embed plastics in the seabed with a half-life of a few million years. But don't anybody at openSUSE feel guilty though for not fixing this issue over the last 4 years I've been calling for help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
