For Tom Jones, I note in the kernel-head repo for openSUSE-11.1 there is a :
(1) kernel-vanilla-2.6.36-rc6.25.1.i586.rpm for 11.1
(2) kernel-vanilla-base-2.6.36-rc6.25.1.i586.rpm for 11.1
I could install that "in parallel" on this openSUSE-11.1 install, and test that
kernel. I believe it would not destroy the 2.6.27 kernel that is functioning,
and hence I could test and still keep my wife happy. ...
Would that be of help ?
I also note that I did test (boot only) the openSUSE-11.4 Milestone-2 KDE and
Gnome liveCDs on this laptop and both had major issues when booting. 11.4 M2
has an 2.6.36 rc? kernel(I think rc4 but I am not sure as I am not at my PCs
right now). The symptom for Gnome was the mouse cursor disappeared. The
keyboard partially functioned (enough for very limited tests). I did confirm
the "intel" driver loaded via the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. The symptom for KDE
with 11.4 M2 was the mouse cursor disappeared AND the desktop plasma was very
flakey, with application windows constantly disappearing behind the plasma such
that they could not be seen. Its possible there were other issues that would
appear after a period of time, but I could not functionally use the desktop
with the above issues for more than 10 minutes.
I will try the openSUSE-11.1 kernel-vanilla-2.6.36-rc6.25.1.i586.rpm this
weekend if believed helpful.
