The iBook G3 come with a white LED that's active if the device sleeps.
On 10.2 during installation you seem to misuse it to signal hard disk
activity. How can I disable it?

Hello,
After I installed the final 11.1 the NVidia issue persists.
Using the video-ofonly boot option works but it seems when
I restart there is not a prompt to enter it again.
Where can I set this option - in a member so that I don't
need to enter it manually when booting?
I'll look into getting a NVidia driver for my G5 PowerMac,
any suggestions? assuming that I am not the only one who
selected openSuse as a Linux system.

I did a successful installation of openSuse 11.1 RC1
on my PowerMac G5 dual after I circumvented the
formatting bug.
Updated the system, ran a few tests.
Then after 2 days it would not start anymore because
the module sata_svw is missing.
Tried to start from the installation DVD with rescue
but that didn't help.
So my question : Is there a way to recover without
re-installing the system?
And from Googling I see this is a long time bug, has
anybody seen a solution?

Hello,
Can someone explain the situation with the support
for my monitor (a Sony CRT) in the 11.1 RC1?
During installation I see no problem - the only thing
that indicates there is something wrong is a monitor
icon on the desktop.
I tried to correct the problem by clicking the icon
but no success.
When I shutdown there is a total wait with the monitor
going very weird. The system does not shutdown, I have
to shot the PowerMac G5 down with powerbutton.

I note that the default depositories for ppc installations (as set up by
YaST) are those on download.opensuse.org, but some packages are only on
powerpc.opensuse.org. In particular I refer to gstreamer plugins, but I
think it's rather wider than that.
Does anyone know why we have both?
If we need both, can the latter be included in the default set?

I'm pleased to report a considerable degree of success with 11.1 RC1 on
a 1999 Mac Powerbook G3 (Lombard), also on an iMac of the same era
(which behaves very similarly).
Installer ran smoothly and quickly, apart from:
1. suggesting formatting of the small hfs (boot?) partition, which will
fail with error -3023 setting partition label. Bug
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447782, but work-around is
not to agree to formatting, it seems to work OK thus far...
2. Boot loader ignores other bootable systems on HD. This is bug
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396361 - reported in June
2008 against 11.0 RC1 and present in all subsequent builds. Again, an
easy work-around.
Post - installation, a few more problems:
3. Sound works, but volume controls / mixers / mute don't
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450970
4. Openoffice isn't available to install (don't know the bug ID but it's
well reported).
Not looking *too* bad for GM whenever that will be - still on 16th maybe...?
