Hello!
I’m a newbie in Linux systems, so please be gentle. I’m running Opensuse 11.3/GNOME on old Packard Bell R1800 laptop and I’m having problems using USB devices. In fact, I’m not able to use them at all. So far I’ve tried usb mouse, external hard drive, several memory sticks and this Nokia CS-15 what-you-call-it, mobile modem? Eats sim-cards.
External hard drive did mount once, but I wasn’t able to use it. When I double-clicked it’s icon, it just froze.
Here’s some information that might be useful: (Nokia CS-15 connected)
