Hello
CF : Your laptop may have the same hardware as this one of my mine. There is
probably a chipset nVidia go150 with a video card gForce. I put the hardware
profile at the end of this mail. That can explain our problem with USB.
Before SuSE 9.3 64 bits, I tried the SuSE 10.0 64 bits : bad experience (no
PCMCIA working, full freeze with graphic nVidia driver, freeze of X server
when reading DVD, ...). So I went back to 9.3. In parallel I work with a SuSE
9.2 64 bits without major problems. With 9.3, the full freeze with nVidia
driver is still present (do you use nVidia driver). A way for understanding
what happens is to use a 64 bits live-distrib (Kunbuntu ?). If no problem
with USB for a similar kernel, all comes from SuSE kernel (to my mind).
Colin : About SuSE 9.0 AMD64, I used it in the past on this same Asus laptop
and USB worked almost fine : it only failed with some USB2 devices (for
example my Sony H1 or some memor key).
Regards
Pascal
