I finally got around to downloading OpenSuSE 10.2, and upgrading my machine at work (old Dell Optiplex GX-150). The following are just a few comments on my upgrade experience (which was a lot better than some of the other stories I've seen on this list over the past several months).
- graphical install didn't work as it said "you don't have enough memory or X windows could not be started"; no big deal, just used the text-based install (w/ no mouse)
- online update worked fine during the install, and so far no problems updating after the upgrade either
- I left it overnight while it was installing packages and when I came in this morning, the screen was now in a graphical install mode; curious...
- it chose the wrong video card, and does not seem to let me choose a different one - even from YAST after the upgrade (this seems very odd); but it's just onboard video, and it appears to be working just fine
- all of my prior settings are still there, and with what little poking around I have done so far, everything else seems to be working
All in all I thought it was a pretty painless upgrade!

Hi I went from 10.0. to 10.1 to 10.2 and the problem I had with 10.2 it's that it did detected my monitor, but for some reason after grub, it would set the monitor behind the right frequency, and my monitor would go off, and display an alarm saying that the signal was out of frequency, I had to switch to Vesa after trying different configuration with the driver that came for my monitor. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
