I just did a new attempt with 10.2 alpha 5 x86_64 on a Dell Precision 490 Xeon workstation. Happily the alpha4 USB mouse problem was fixed and the Gnome dekstop was possible to start testing. But I encountered several issues during the installation or with the setup after login, as noted below.
My install was on an older Compaq laptop using ftp as the install method (downloaded the dvd iso and shared via ftp). On reboot X would not start and system went into text mode for second part of install. Culprit: the xorg-x11-libXext rpm was not installed with the system.
The Linksys WPC54G PCMCIA card is being configured as a network card *_not_* a wireless card therefore you cannot configure the wireless settings since you cannot change the card type to wireless in YaST.
Please file this as bug.
Waiting for the screen saver to kick in to see if the system still locks up using the bcm43xx driver. This is a kernel issue not opensuse. Still need to download the firmware from Ubuntu in order to use the card.
Could you file a bug here as well so that we figure this out? Or does one exist already and no action is taken? In that case tell me, please...
The package selection screen during initial setup shows up as an 800X600 window that cannot be maximized when using a larger resolution during initial setup.
We go back to the old way.
Bottom line: keep up the good work it keeps getting better with each release.
But there's still some way to go ;-) Thanks, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
