[opensuse-factory] My comments on installing openSUSE-10.3-RC1 on a ThinkPad T40
Hello all I installed openSUSE-10.3-RC1 on a ThinkPad T40 using the openSUSE-10.3-RC1-DVD-i386.iso that I made from the openSUSE-10.3-Beta3_RC1-DVD-i386.delta.iso The installation went fine but I do have a few remarks which I would like to pass along The yast install picked up the Intel 2200BG Wifi card and I used that to load down and install the patchs during the install process. Wifi worked just fine during and after the install (To be truthfull, I had more problems configuring 2200BG Wifi card using Intel lastest drivers under Win XP than with openSUSE). Great work! During the installation my thinkpad model was incorrectly recognized as an "R40 2681" The thinkpad model is ThinkPad "T40 2373" This is the first time that I have seem yast install mistake the model. There was an rather annoying "PatchProgressCallback.99" message popup when I was in the "Patch download and Installation" window that I had to click too many times for my liking. I imagine that this is for your developpers to debug / troubleshoot yast installation module code and it won't there for long. Lastly the sound was recognized as a T41 in the "Hardware window" at the end - no big deal I guess as the sound works fine but before is the first time that I have seem yast install mistake the model. Final remarks - Things are looking quite good - The wifi connection (controlled by KNetwork manager as eth0) seems to up faster "on boot" than before (<=thank you) - I have an new semi transparent kde panel toolbar - cool eye candy (<=thank you) - Konqueror and Firefox seem to open alot faster under kde. And now Firefox opens really fast the second time (<=thank you) - I installed the w32codec-all-20061022-0.pm.1.i586.rpm libdvdcss2 and libdvdcss2-devel but I still can't Kaffeine to play movies. Can any one help me on this one ? That's all I have time for for tonight.

Install libxine1 from packman as well.

Such data is retrieved from the BIOS. Please run "hwinfo" (as root) and send the output to me (no need to 'spam' the whole mailinglist). Either the BIOS is reporting the wrong model or hardware probing looks at the wrong data. The hwinfo output will tell us.
