Good morning,

: > - Should I join another mailing list?
:
: If the T410 has gfx hardware newer than that supported by 11.2,
: yes:
:
: opensuse-factory@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Acknowledged! Thank you. I will join that list and test out the
next 11.3 milestone.

: and one or more of intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or
: xorg-driver-ati@xxxxxxxxxxx or xorg-driver-nvidia@xxxxxxxxxxx
: and/or xorg-driver-noveau@xxxxxxxxxxx depending on your actual
: hardware.

Very good.

: > - Should I install another kernel?
: Probably not helpful.

OK, then I'll sit on the laptop for a few days.

: > - How can I bring up a network connection?
:
: Assuming your NIC is supported, if you can get booted into
: runlevel 3 you can login on a tty and run text mode yast to try
: to fix it (if you don't know how to do it manually from the
: cmdline).

I can boot to single mode, but not runlevel 3. In single mode, I
can't seem to get the network to work. Nonetheless, I'm happy to be
patient, and wait for Thursday.

: > I'm guessing that the hardware is just a bit new and that is the

:
: The 11.3 milestone 5 installation process has serious flaws that
: should be fixed in 6 due on Thursday. Try that.

Thanks much, Felix.
