USB support has been improved in the 2.4.19 kernel. If you are running SuSE 8.0, you are running 2.4.18 most likely, so even upgrading your kernel should improve your situation (i.e. you don't need to necessarily update your distributiobn). I don't have SuSE 8.1 so I can't say much about it. Ali On Saturday 05 October 2002 4:20 pm, doc wrote:
Anyone compared SuSE 8.1 side by side with the new RH 8.0?
Any observations as to strengths and weaknesses re. recognizing devices, handling less-common or older hardware, speed, setup/operating interface, etc.
A friend just switched from SuSE 8.0 to RH 8.0 and says it was driven by the fact that RH happened to recognize a specific piece of hardware and that he just felt more comfortable with the RH interface.
I am just getting used to the SuSE interface but have been frustrated with the inabaility to get SuSE to recognize several pieces of hardware here and at work, most notably USB mice.
Has SuSE 8.1 resolved the USB problems? I paid for my 8.0 for the manual set and to support the effort, before I invest more money and time I need to know that it will not be wasted expecting too much.
Thanks! doc
