Hey!... I'm installing SuSE 9.1 on this machine as I type: First scary issue was that my keyboard did not function after a reboot. It could have been NVIDIA. But one major thing is you need to configure touchpad in sax "choose synaptics" , also change keyboard type to "Dell laptop" here. Resolution was way to big and you need to change this also to LCD:
Fonts looked scratchy until I did the NVIDIA update in yast, you can also update to kde 3.3 with Yast.
Sound just came on after a reboot which leads me to belive hardware detection may be a little inconsistent.

I had the same problem on upgrading my 5100 from 9.0 to 9.1. I found that disabling the graphic boot made the problem go away. It's kind of interesting. My 5100 has the ATI Radeon 7500 Mobility video and a 2.8Ghz P4... Other than those two seemingly minor specs, the machines are the same.
