[opensuse-factory] openSUSE-10.3-Beta2-KDE-i386 => first opinions on a T60
Hello all I installed openSUSE-10.3-Beta2-KDE-i386.iso on my thinkpad this evening. My thinkpad is a T60 => Intel Core Duo T2400 / 1.83 GHz Resume of my problems to date; 1- Network Configuration problems on install on T60 Thinkpad 2- SaX2 incorrectly configured Intel 945 GM video card ########################################################### # 1 Network Configuration problems on install on T60 Thinkpad ########################################################### Network Configuration Window (during install) General Network Settings Network Mode: Interfaces controlled by NetworkManager Network Interfaces (Network Configuration Window) * Wireless Network Card # (<= no Device name; Unable to configure network card because kernal device is not present) Not configured yet * Unknown Network Device # (<= Device name is eth-eth0 ; Module name under Configure/Hardware window is e1000) Configured with DHCP * Unknown Network Device # (<= Device name is eth-eth0 ; no Module name Configure/Hardware window ) Configured with DHCP *Loopback Device Configured with address 127.0.0.1 (losthost) Remark 1: Wireless card is an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. I know that there is a bug out on this for Beta1 (don't recall the number though) Remark 2: I noticed no changes in the Network Interfaces settings (Network Configuration Window) if I opted for Traditionnal network setup with NetControl. Remark 3: Internet (eth0) worked up to (around) this point because I d/l and installed several extra rpms during the install and the eth0 worked on first boot. Remark 4: Despite the fact that lsmod | grep ipw3945 lists the following (see below) my wireless card is not seen by yast ipw3945 ieee80211 firmware_class ########################################################### 2- SaX2 configuration ########################################################### SaX2 had configured the Intel 945 GM video card with a resolution of 1024x768 (XGA) with a monitor LEN LENOVO LCD MONITOR but the resolution I getting (was I believe) was more like 800 x 640 XGA. When I ran SaX2 - it said 1024x768 (XGA) but when I tested it (no changes were made) it said 800 x 640 XGA.

I guess you are missing the iwl3945-ucode, which has not been installed automatically. (This also happend on my X60 -- this problem is under investigation.)
2- SaX2 incorrectly configured Intel 945 GM video card
Known issue -- a fixed package is already internally available and will be released as an online update soon. Best, Christoph
