Hi all, I have been having a lot of trouble getting opensuse to work with different laptops. The issues I am experiencing also happen with ubuntu so it seems to me to be a kernel issue perhaps?
Every single laptop I have tried that has either of the two following devices has the following issues:
Intel 4000 series graphics - cannot change brightness, always maxed out at 100%!!! (I am unsure if this is the graphics chip or the acpi drivers but would not know how to find out)
The backlight control in some newish laptops do not work well, try with kernel 3.12
Broadcom wifi - does not show in network manager or network settings therefore unusable (does show under device info)
These cards usually require firmware.. did you tried "install_bcm43xx_firmware" as root ? -- "Judging by their response, the meanest thing you can do to people on the Internet is to give them really good software for free". - Anil Dash -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
