I have a new Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop, and can't wait to install SuSE on it, hopefully someone can help me out with a few questions that I have.

In order to get NT to work with my 3Com 10/100 ethernet adapter I had to change the pc card setting in the bios from "auto-select" to "cardbus/16bit", this effectively kills the pcmcia service in NT, will this work in Linux?

It should work O.K. Did you check here to see if anyone has had problems http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/

Also since I want to add a pcmcia modem ( a dreaded winmodem is installed) will I still be able to have both the cardbus lan card & the modem working without having to change the bios setting everytime I boot between NT & Linux?

I can't find any data on the horizontal & vertical display mhz, is

If it is a Lucent LT modem it may work with the driver available at http://www.linmodems.org The one in my laptop works quite nicely with that module. there a

safe setting for a laptop display if one doesn't know?

There's lots of data on this on the linux laptop page mentioned above. Good luck, Tim -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
