It was nice playing around with 10.3 but after loosing the use of my CDrom and unable to use my TV card I am back now with 10.2 where everything functions as it should. Have no idea what has changed within the two versions but with my older hardware, a P II I ran into too much troubles with 10.3. I will be back regularly to update 10.3 and see if it has improved enough to get it working on my machine. For now I have at least a working platform. If this is the direction of newer software I see black for older hardware. Lets not give up hope.
Can't help you with the TV, but I bet the fix in the release notes to use the old drivers ide code will get you that CD drive back.
There seem to be a number of problems with the new libata drivers and optical disks. Sounds like you hit one of them. Tejun Heo of Novell is trying to get a big collection of "ATAPI" related fixes into the vanilla kernel, and I assume they will eventually come out for 10.3's kernel.
Dear Greg, Looked into the libata discussion, took a look at work from Tejun Heo and did not understand a thing. Thought though that it had something to do with my CDrom problems. Looked at his patches and do not know how they could help me for the moment. The discussion was also not very clear about the particulair problems where Tejun was working on. Glad that you more or less confirm that my problem may be around for a solution. ;) My TV is of lesser importance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
