I have moved this from OpenSUSE's list as it really doesn't belong there.
I am having some interesting problems, and I am not sure what the cause is.
Whenever I use the fglrx drivers for the video my machine locks up hard whenever I try anything that uses openGL Also, when I"m using the native wireless madwifi drivers for the Atheros wireless nic The machine will lock up hard when I shut down, or try to disable the NIC.
Does anyone here have any idea what could be the problem? I'm running SUSE 9.3 with Kernel: 2.6.11.4-21.9-smp. <snip>

I have not tried openSUSE on this laptop, due to its being my primary, but I would really like to get past this. Any ideas or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

Do you have the latest/greatest BIOS for this laptop installed? What make/model is it anyway? Give us more details of the software and hardware besides the WLAN and video card PCI info. I think you are on the right track suspecting driver issues. That is usually where these types of lockups occur. Stan
