Hi! 10.1 works fine my Asus A6R.

-1280 MB DDR2-533
-40GB HD
-15,4" wxga
-Ati x200
-BCM 4318 Wlan

Suse 10.1 worked HORRIBLY on my HP Pavilion ze2000 laptop. It detected and configured most of the hardwar just fine, but randomly locked up.. It did the same thing on a Dell C600 and an Averatec (dont remeber the model number)...

Works fine on myk desktop computer though!

I ended up using Mepis on the HP laptop.

Sony Vaio VGN-A215Z with SUSE 10.1
Pentium M735 1.70Ghz
512RAM
60GB HD
15.4" WXGA 1280 x 800 LCD

All works (including wireless) except:

'Hotkeys' for volume (except mute), brighteness, disk eject etc. This is fairly minor but it would be nice to have them.

Haven't tried:

Bluetooth (never use it)
Hibernate
Suspend

Installation went very smoothly and only post installation setting up was screen (X asked me to confirm it was really 1280 x 800!) and the wireless. But setting up the wireless was no more hassle than the typical Windows install.

Does xev command come up with a keycode for those Hotkeys?

I have SuSE-10.0 installed on a Fujitisu-Siemens Amilo 7400 Laptop (previous to 10.0 I had 9.3 on the same laptop). [/b]

Just a further note, I did a clean install, replacing SuSE-10.0 with 10.1. SuSE-10.1 installed and runs without any major problems. I'm currently using Smart for package management (pending Novell/SuSE updates to YaST/zen). I have sound, and 10/100baseT internet access. I can play all sorts of audio and video formats, after updating the multimedia using Smart, and accessing Packman/Guru web sites. I did not try the wireless yet (in fact I deliberately disabled it). I am using a VESA driver for xwindows.

Does xev command come up with a keycode for those Hotkeys?

I have not tried that. I have tried XEV a long time ago for a multimedia keyboard but didn't have much luck with it. Actually I suppose I have just come to accept 'non standard' keys not working with Linux.
