Hello.
I recently attempted to install SuSE v9.1 Professional on my laptop. I have a Dell Latitude CPi (PII, 256MB RAM, 5GB HDD). While SuSE did install successfully, I have experienced several problems which amount to show stoppers for v9.1 unless I am able to resolve them. Because of these problems I have had to reinstall v8.0 Professional.
As I said, the install went just fine, however once complete I encountered a few serious problems:
1. 60% of the time SuSE would ignore my keyboard. 2. This laptop has a touch-pad mouse, while the mouse is detected, the ability to use the touch-pad as an enter key was gone. (This is not an issue with v8.0, in fact it allows use of the touch-pad during install.) 3. My PCMCIA modem (Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56) is not detected. It is detected as an 'Unknown AT' modem under v8.0 and I am able to make use of it just fine. Try as I may, I cannot get v9.1 to recognize this modem.
Without the ability to connect to the Internet v9.1 is worthless to me. I should not have to replace the modem I have as it works just fine under v8.0. I have no idea why v9.1 can't see it. Hardware detection is supposed to *improve* with each release of a distribution, not get worse.
If anyone could provide some insight as to how I may resolve these issues I would greatly appreciate it. I would very much like to run v9.1 but without a working keyboard and modem I am not going to be able to.
Thanks!
