My 10.2 boxed set finally arrived, and as it turns out, I just happened to have a new duo-core intel machine to install it. Yast detected everything with no special settings required, and the default 64-bit OS install was quick and easy.
In short, everything is screaming fast, and working beautifully, with one exception: Xorg is configured as a frame buffer. The machine has enough horsepower to make that not so painful, but I have a feeling the onboard intel video is capable of much better things - can somebody clue me in on how to unleash the inner beast and get the video performance this thing is capable of?
It turned out to be trivially easy - I needed only to edit xorg.conf by hand, to substitute the i810 driver for the fbdev driver chosen by yast, and add a line to load the dri module. The resulting video performance, while not quite as fast as with the nvidia cards, is nevertheless quite snappy and usable. The video chipset detection during the install failed here, as it should have been able to provide a default xorg.conf similar to the one I created by hand. Worth a bugzilla?
