[opensuse-factory] Better Support for Intel Macs 10.3
Are ther any plans on this? I installed 10.2 on a Mac Mini and it works quite well. But I found the following problems: - (Official) documentation - Installer does not recognize Mac partitons. YaST shows them as Linux Native. What about a resizer for HFS+, so we do not need bootcamp? - Bootloader Installation even on a partition is not possible. I had to call grub-install /dev/sda3 manually. Maybe we could integrate refit - After first reboot, the partition table was not altered, so booting the installed system was not possible, as YaST found no partitions from type 82/83. Booting the rescue system and changing the ID solved this issue - how to switch bluetooth/wlan on/off? On Notebooks this is usually done via Hotkeys, but on the Mac Mini, if you switched it off under Mac OS X, how can you enable it under Linux -Special keys: the eject button works, but the volume buttons do not (normal USB Mac keyboard) Shall I create a wiki-page for the problems or bugzilla entries? Or is perfect intel mac support not a goal at all? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Well, openSUSE is an open project and all components you have problems with are open source. So if you can find enthusiasts, I'm sure you can define it as an openSUSE goal. But I'm afraid (and I only speak for myself) the market for linux on intel macs is just too small to aim for perfection - so bugzilla entries will have to come with attached hardware atm, as SUSE developers usually do not have Intel macs and most problems seem hardware specific.

Just tell me your birthday and I will see, what I can do ;-)

I suggest create both. Anyway, all things you mentioned are bugs IMHO.
