Hi all. I'm fairly new to opensuse, although I'm not new to linux. In the past I've always used redhat flavors. So lately that's been fedora for personal and centos for work computers. Our company uses Novell products heavily so I'm trying to run opensuse on my laptop. I'm not running SLED or SLES because my wireless NIC doesn't work with those, but does with opensuse 10.3 out of the box. I'm having a few issues though. Hoping to get some help. (I have googled for many if not all of these issues, but have not found solutions) I'm not using wireless at the moment. 1) In general the system seems slugish. It's new laptop with Centrino Duo processor and 4 gig of RAM. I'm running SMP kernal: 2.6.22.17-0.1-bigsmp When I do a top it only shows 1 CPU (maybe that's correct). If I look at gnome system monitor it shows two processors. I'm only using 21% of the RAM right now and no swap. The system fan seems to be running constantly. I also run VMWare Player. When I suspend an OS by clicking on the X it takes a long time for vmplayer to write everything to the disk. I also ran WMWare Player when Vista was installed and it was much faster at this process. (and it's hard for me to say Vista is faster than anything!!!) Hard drives statistic are: # hdparm -tT /dev/sda2 /dev/sda2: Timing cached reads: 5596 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2803.83 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 162 MB in 3.03 seconds = 53.47 MB/sec Those seem pretty good IIRC. 2) Bluetooth. I have bluetooth enabled and running but I can't figure out how to get my bluetooth mouse to attach. On fedora I'm used to running hidd commands, but those aren't available. I also have other problems specific to other applications, such as firefox, but those issues could be related to #1. Anyone have any suggestions? I appreciate the help.
