Based on the comments here, I bit the bullet and tried the upgrade from
10.3->11.0 Beta 2. I may need to roll back but I thought I'd report a
few experiences first and see if I could get help.
1) My wireless no longer works. I've attached the dmesg after the upgrade.
This problem is a showstopper, any help would be appreciated. If this problem
is not due to some brain damage on my part, I would recommend fixing this prior
to shipping OpenSuse 11.0.
2) My machine locked hard when I went into Yast2->Hardware->Mouse Model and
changed the model to Alps there is one choice, touchpad. The first time my
machine locked hard (required a hard reset with the power button/switch). I'll
try again after I send this and scan /var/log/messages for any clues.
3) ksynaptics and Sax2 have long had a troubling interaction that I don't know
how to solve. ksynaptics when I go to configure the touch pad (currently set
up as a im/PS2 mouse) gives a popup complaining "Shared Memory is not
accessible Please add the option 'SHMConfig "on"' into the touchpad section of
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Historically I've noticed that my xorg.conf file would get overwritten every
time X started, so I never could get the change to really take effect. Is
there a known solution for this. If not, I'd like to request that this be
addressed in the OpenSuse 11.0 release.
4) I had numerous packages added (mostly from packman) that were removed during
the upgrade, I have not tried to adjust my repositories to fix this (yet), but
this might just be part of the joy of going beta to fix a problem like this.
So in summary, I can't see any goodness in the new kernel, but that might be
due to application side/beta testing issues.

Bill M.
