Hello My laptop is a new one from Asus, an L5D with an Athlon 64 3000+. It is built with the nVidia chipset for Athlon 64. On it, I installed SuSE 9.0 pro 64 bits upgraded from YOU and SuSE 9.1 pro 64 bits updated from YOU too. Before this Asus laptop, it was a Samsung A10 (2002) with a Slackware 8.1 + 9.0, a Sager Nautile S100 (1999) with Slackware 8.0 and an AST Ascentia 900N (1994) with Slackware 3.1. Since 2000, I have been using the SuSE at work. This is the first time I want to use SuSE for my own use on laptop. 64 bits => SuSE AMD64 ! I detected severals problems with PCMCIA card (SuSE 9.0 and 9.1), USB memory stick (SuSE 9.1) and JRE for Mozilla 64 bits (SuSE 9.0 and 9.1). - about PCMCIA : I have to PCMCIA cards : an Hayes Optima 288 modem and a Netgear ethernet card FA411 (16 bits). They are well recognized on my previous laptops with Slackware and they work perfectly. On my new laptop Asus with SuSE, none of them are recognized. With "cardctl config", I can only see that there is a card in a slot. That's all !!!! During boot or after boot, this is the same thing. The pcmcia_core is well loaded a boot, used by the modules ds and yenta_socket. I can't explain what happens. Who can see how to solve this problem ? I could see that I am not alone with such a problem : http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-amd64/2004-Jul/0267.html These are the same messages I got during boot with an inserted card : "cs : unable to map card memory!" And this is with the same laptop !!!!!!!!!!! Is it due to hardware or a bad config done by SuSE ?

To use Mozilla without JRE ..... Mozplugger is the only plugin with djvu and tcl accepted by Mozilla. No flashplayer : that's normal, it is 32 bits. So the JRE x86_64 may be only x86, 32 bits. I did not try the JRE blackdown. Is there a solution ? - about US stick : The USB stick 1.1 or 2.0 are well manually mounted under SuSE 9.0. But with SuSE 9.1 (with a modified config file for /etc/hotplug/hotplug.subfs.functions), I can manually mount the USB stick 1.1 but this is not possible with a 2.0. Why ???? I have the same problem with a bi-opteron PC (CM Tyan with AGP slot, only USB 1.1 onboard). Who can solve the problem ? Kind regards ! Pascal
