- I just fired up a new HP Pavilion dv6111 with an AMD mobile Sempron CPU. - resized the XP partition and installed OpenSuSE10.2, no sweat. Display is fine (nVidia), fonts are ok. In the very beginning we had SuSE, since Novell is aboard it is called SUSE and nowadays the guys would like to see openSUSE.

The standard -- open source -- driver for nvidia graphics chips "nv" does not support 3D graphics by default. If you prefer 3D graphics -- not a must -- you might need to install the closed source driver "nvidia".
More details can be found here:
- wireless, sigh.
- does anyone know what wifi-hardware is inside the box? - drivers? - links? The simple command "hwinfo --wlan" should give you (and us) some useful information.
The lines containing "vendor:", "device:" and "driver:" are most useful.
Another command to call could be "lspci -nn".
Hi Reinhard , I think you cut my lines off :
No. I replied directly to Verner's OP. So I didn't cut off your lines ...
Hi Verner what do you mean by hardware inside the box ? in the Pavillion ?
Well, I assume that he doesn't know which hardware is in his box ...
looks as if Verner wants information on the wifi part ?
Are you refering to my side-note regarding nvidia ? You are not very precise here ! If your comment refers to my additions to the nvidia controller you should place your comment in the right place ... And: What do you think you the command "hwinfo --wlan" delivers ?
or maybe I'm wrong
I don't think so ... -- Never give up ! Best regards / Gruß, Reinhard. "Software is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
