I have a ATI Radeon 9250 and OpenSuse 11.2.
Should the default driver, RadeonHD 1.3, support OpenGL acceleration? I could not get it working.
The card is not very new and I thought it would be supported.

I have also an older Matrox G400 card.
OpenGL acceleration for it worked many Suse releases ago but not any more. ****!

Just installed OpenSuse 11.2 on my Dell Precision 380 where I had till yet the 11.1 (new install not update).

Now I can't get my speakers work even if they worked well under 11.1.

That should bring some happiness to oldcpu who loves working with sound problems lol!

My machine is behind a router so it's local subnet of a 192.168.xxx.xxx. Is there really a need to have IPv6 enabled on a LAN and how can I disable it and remove the bridged connection?

Also, the YaST manager says that the network card isn't configured, but it's only reading from eth0 and br0 is nowhere to be found in YaST.

I have an opensuse 11.1 64bit with latest kernel updates runing on a usb drive. OS was initially installed on an asus G1S laptop, and everything was working fine.

I changed the lapto to an asus laptop with an nvidia GeForce GT 240M video card. I just plugged in the usb to my ne laptop and after some reconfiguration got almost everything working.

Laptop starts fine (I am running gnome) and I can work fine as long as I don't swicth to terminal mode.

If at any time I do Ctrl+Alt+Fx then my screen starts kind of flickering. This also happens everytime I shudown the laptop or if I put it to sleep, when it comes back. The only way to solve this is to restart the laptop.

Any ideas? ]]> Hardware feancosa http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/426434-nvidia-geforce-gt240m-logout-screen-refresh-issues.html USB devices require root password to mount http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/426431-usb-devices-require-root-password-mount.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:29:45 GMT If I plug in an external USB drive or memory stick I'm prompted to enter the root password to mount the device.

If I enable keyboard repeat from system settings, every key press gets repeated no matter how fast I press the key. For example if I try to type the letter 'a' I get 'aaaaaaaaaaa'. Or if I type 'mouse' I get 'mouseeeeeeeeeeee'. I've tried different delay and rate options but that doesn't change the problem.

If I disable keyboard repeat I can type normally, but it's very annoying when you can't for example delete characters quickly.

I'd appreciate any help.
