AMD is submitting patches for these to the Kernel developers. Opensuse does not care. 10.3 is using Kernel 2.6.22.x and the patches were included in a later revision. But the alpahs using the supported kernel it still did not work. I asked the SuSE developers what details they could use to get it working, but no response yet...

It's a brand new chipset released I think in February.

If it makes you feel better no other Linux distro would install on the machine either.

It's going to be no worse than installing Windows XP and then the large number of "required" updates.

I think the answer to using 10.3 or waiting for 11.0 will depend on what hardware your friend has. If its very recent changes are that 10.3 will not support it, e.g. I have a brand new computer with the AMD 780g chipset and 10.3 and the 11 betas won't even work on it.

'Thought AMD was going to work with the Linux community so that things like this didn't happen?
