This weekend I took the plunge! I scrubbed XP off of my laptop (HP Pavilion XH485) and installed SuSE 7.3. I have been goofing with RedHat for years but this is my first SuSE experience. It impressed me so much that I I decided to make it my primary OS.
I have a couple of things yet to solve... How do I get my scroll wheel of the mouse to work? Also I need to know what a good solution would be to get the DVD drive to play DVDs. I have been looking at Ogle.. but have not tried it yet. I also noticed that 3d acceleration is not enabled for the video card (Trident Cyberblade 8 meg). Is this possible?
Anyway- good bye Microsoft...

This is a snip from my XF86Config file for the mouse section. I have a ps2 optical whell mouse. This config will work for most any ps2 mouse (ball or optical) and I prefer this to some of the other named mouse driver setups (e.g. Logitech, M$ intellimouse, etc) because I can put any mouse in it and it works fine with a re-config. Cut and Paste this into the "XF86config" file in your /etc/X11 dir. That's all there is to it. Simple, direct, and effecient - not to mention it works with a minimum of hassle. Mouse section to follow: #Section "InputDevice" # Driver "mouse" # Identifier "Mouse[1]" # Option "ButtonNumber" "5" # Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" # Option "InputFashion" "Mouse" # Option "Name" "AutoDetected" # Option "Protocol" "imps/2" # Option "Vendor" "AutoDetected" # Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" #EndSection Of course you need to remove all the "#" signs, since this is the symbol that negates these lines for being read and implimented. As far as DVD and a trident Cyberblade card - don't know. I use nVidia GForce cards and that's another setup from trident based cards. Should find a howto at www.xfree86.org site. Or, try the SuSE sdb. HTH, Curtis
