Well,
I got the HP zv5000 and LOVE IT!
Just got mine a week ago, zv5320us.
I was able to get SuSE 9.1 on it without too much trouble.
Got the nvidia driver working and the widescreen (1280x800) resolution running.
Yes, took me 5 days to figure that one out <g>.
I know the boadcom wireless isn't going to work until 9.2 (hint hint hint).
Well, mine's the Athlon XP-M so I was able to get the wireless working using ndiswrapper.
I am only having one problem and have one request
The problem I'm having is that once X has loaded, I cannot ever get back to a console, virtual or otherwise. I mean I can get to it, I just can't see it. The screen is messed up.
Is there a way to fix this?
The workaround I'm using is to; 1) boot vga=vesa 2) during the bootup process, BEFORE x starts, press the fn f4 keys. Doing the above makes the problem go away. Now a question for you, did you load the SuSE nvidia driver update and did it work? I'm running with the nv driver, the nvidia one results in a blank screen and a locked up system. Still trying to solve that one.... Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.111-default x86_64
