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.
Congratulations you have a great computer. I tried with several OSs and had no problem.
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?
I got a Xircom Cardbus card and I have to setup it in the bios as "cardbus/16bit" as well. At the same time I use an Adaptec SCSI card which is 16 bits. So my PCMCIA is running 32 bits in the first slot and 16 in the second. You will be in troubles with NT because there's no support for cardbus. But it is supported in linux (experimental). Download the last release of PCMCIA package and compile it. Read the docs and be careful when configuring just before compiling: there is a option to activate the support to 32 bits cards. Don't rely in pre-compiled distributions of the PCMCIA package (as on SuSE) because it wouldn't provide cardbus support.
I can't find any data on the horizontal & vertical display mhz, is there a safe setting for a laptop display if one doesn't know?
I am using the SVGA server with the NM200 chipset. If it works right for you then SaX should be able to get automatically the mhz.
