Not exactly high end, but also not a sell out. Bought just a few months ago, and upgraded from 11.3 to 11.4 via "zypper dup". It uses an Intel i915 card. 11.4's default kernel boots into a black screen. The failsafe kernel kind-of works (or the default kernel with "nomodeset"), but uses 1024x768, which is non-native for this notebook, and thus blurry and ugly. Furthermore there seems to be a mismatch between kernel display size and Xorg's idea of it, resulting in an unusable visual layout e.g. in KDE's panel, where almost all tray icons end up outside the screen. Quite an unpleasant come out, and no obvious way to fix it. The only solution so far was to install vanilla 2.6.38-rc7 or -rc8. Unfortunately, with these kernels brightness control does no longer work, despite "acpi_os=Linux", which worked with 11.3's kernel. Sigh. You may want to prepare a kernel upgrade very soon, or a lot of notebook users will be quite frustrated. :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
