I'd say this is an Intel related problem, many many people have NVIDIA working without hassle. The best thing you can do is push via the bug that you will have logged or found. I agree though, it's these kind of show stoppers that OpenSuSE still needs to get better at, the Jury's out to whether we finally have a working wireless networking solution since 10.3 for example. Still, theres one last chance before the GM version. In my opinion this type of thing is the single only thing that lets this distribution down and I have no idea how to fix it. Otherwise OpenSuSE would be as near perfect as a distro could be. Q

It's always the same crap that bites us in the butt.....drivers!! wifi is working for me with an Intel Pro w/3945 chipset. NOT as well as in the past, but working. Yes.....marginal wifi and video simply CAN'T be allowed in a GM release!! Since Intel did release the code fro it's video, I see no reason why the driver isn't good.
