I am running SuSE 6.2 on a Compaq Presario 1690 with a DVD drive. At
this time, DVD is not supported. However, it reads cdroms okay for
installing the SuSE 6.2 software.
This laptop uses the ATI Rage LT Pro which is now supported under
XFree86 3.3.4 and 3.3.5.
However, the glidepoint mouse is still difficult to adjust under X.
Works well under Win98.
