OK Update. I installed 11.2 from the kde live cd on a dell gx260. I have Internet and kde4. I am 4 hours into the install and cannot change the screen resolution beyond 800x600 on a 1440x900 flat screen, (there seems to be no option in Yast anymore to be able to do this) I cannot play videos and my (given old) quickcam express doesn't work. kmail was easy. Next I must install the packman repository or find the opensuse one click install for the codecs or mplayer or WHY. I now have a home computer running Linux on a single computer. I never thought I'd get this far. L x
if you have nvidia graphics go to http://en.opensuse.org/Nvidia (do not use the easy way, do it the hard way because that is easier in the long run (otherwise you get a black screen every time the kernel is updated)
Not if you have the Nvidia repo setup correct, it will update the driver with the kernel. The caveat is to make sure the Nvidia repo has been updated first. And not every kernel update requires an update to the Nvidia driver. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
