Hello SuSE people.

If you check in /etc/X11 you will see that xorg.conf is an sym link to XF86Config in 9.2 dont know about 9.3 aint got it aint gunna get it either too unstable .
Pete .
Unstable ... where, what, when and why? News to me, it was 9.2 which was most ill tempered to install or upgrade, but ran sweetly once it was up. 9.3 has been solid, aint seen no problems with it on x86 or x86_64. If you cast your mind back to 9.2 or spend 5 mins in the archives, you'll see what I mean. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

Re 9.3 in x86-64: how many 64 bit packages do you use? What is your primary browser? How often does it just crash? Can you access audio/video files, say from the tv networks? How often do apps just close without a warning or an error message? These and other things still keep my 9.3 in the "test" partition, all real work is done in 9.2. Have made progress, but still experience the arbitrary collapses of windows, especially in firefox. And please keep in mind that 9.2 is only another entry in Grub, so there are no hardware quality issues. 9.2 is stable, only closing kaffeine causes a window crash, all else is solid, albeit a bit slower that 9.3
Hmmmmm.... I haven't really counted, but lots of KDE stuff, digikam, xine, bluetooth, xcdroast, the latest kernels from kernel.org (2.6.13). It's never crashed from 9.1 onwards with upgrades - blasted XP off it and installed 9.1 via ftp, except the recent hard drive failure, replaced it and did a fresh 9.3 install some weeks ago, it runs 24/7 ... Acer 1501LCe laptop, XP3000+, Radeon 9600 Mobile, etc. No problems with audio/video files, except for some audio skips, known to affect laptops. It prints across the network, all the usual stuff. No apps crashing/closing without my intervention. Mozilla is fine, firefox (32-bit) is also OK, I don't use the SuSE firefox because there are no 64-bit plugins available and firefox is my primary browser, but my daughter uses mozilla or konqueror. Rock Solid since day one! Just a couple of hardware problems, first was the CD-RW/DVD which Acer support said was Linux, ha-ha-ha, writing to and corrupting the BIOS, but I find that a good push on it fixes the bad contact, then the hard drive failure.
