Hi Farkas

It is a nice laptop indeed (exactly like mine), however, the linux support for the ATI chipset and the WLan card is, how to say, not perfect yet. Most of the problems go away if you can fix the "too fast clock" problem (see also a previous message "[suse-amd64] Quick System Clock" and the related ones). Since there is no official working kernel patch I'm aware of, you should do it yourself and recompile the kernel. If there will be no other tip from the SuSE gurus, I'll help you out how to make the patch. For the moment I have no time for it and the machine is currently running from the non-linux partition :-)
Thanks for the info. I am preparing the machine now to re-compile the kernel. I have found a link to a patch for the fast clock on a site that covers SuSE 9.3 on the Acer Ferrari. I will see if that works.
