Hello all
I could read on the Novell website some news about the next SuSE 9.2 (perso or pro). The address (french pages) : http://www.novell.com/products/linuxprofessional/overview.html It should be available on next november. The kernel is a 2.6.8 made in Suse of course ! (2.6.8.1 exactly ?). If you have a look in the previous mails (previous months) about PCMCIA and AMD64 laptops, you will see that there is a problem with PC cards (modem for example) and kernel 2.6.5 (SuSE 9.1). My question is for the SuSE developpers : can you tell if this problem is solved ? I could read in some previous mails that it should be solved in the kernel 2.6.8.0. I downloaded the standard kernel sources but I never compiled it : I prefer to use a SuSE kernel with a SuSe distrib :-) (I did not take the time to do it in fact).
you lazybone ;-) It is not much more effort to compile a kernel than to write and read these posts.
But there is help already today, you can install the SuSE kernels of the day, which are now 2.6.8.x and they run fine, I do not have problems.
Which reminds me, the last time I tried compiling 2.6.8.1 with x86-64.org patches applied, I was unable to get 32bit apps(tried firefox, OOo, and a couple of games like ET) to connect to the X server without "xhost +"!! I don't have an exact error message(rolled back to 2.6.7, frustrated me to no end until I realized that I've changed nothing more since the last reboot than the kernel, not even the nvidia driver), it was something with "connection refused" and "xlib: no protocol specified" :)
And yes, PCMCIA is working.
You might still have to modify your pcmcia config file to include the memory and port range.
thans for your answers
