openSuse Gnome-Live-64bit not really usable on a small vaio

hi,

for info :

i was wanting to install openSuse 12.2 (currently 11.4) on my sony vaio VPCM11M1E (that’s a very small notebook), two thing that were not working

  1. after welcome screen i cannot use the arrow keys to choose between “install” or the live version (apparently i also can’t add any start options) (the live version is autoselected)
  2. when openSuse is started i have the option to install to harddrive, thing is all the dialogs are way to big for a small device and i cannot see what i’m clicking or if there are more options, i know that the next button is reachable with <alt>+n but this doesn’t really help.

currently i’m installing fedora for testing purposes and these guy manage to create an installation process where all dialogs are readable also on a small device.
