Just wondering whether 11.3 will be compatible with the Intel GMA HD Graphics card.
Thanks for the help.
I just replied to you in another thread.
**In short: YES
**
In long: There is a thread here wrt an i3 processor user with what might be the same graphic hardware:
Installing Linux on Laptop with Intel Core i3 Processor - openSUSE Forums
In particular, note you really need to provide more detail on your graphics. There is more than one type of Intel GMA (Graphics Media Accelerator) HD.
But I note (with this as a reference): Intel HD Graphics - ThinkWiki, which while written around thinkpads is likely true for your acer, and that you likely need a very recent Linux distribution with kernel 2.6.33 and also note that Intel Xorg driver 2.10 or newer is recommended. This means openSUSE-11.2 is too old as it has the 2.6.31 kernel and I believe only 2.9 Intel xorg driver.
openSUSE-11.3 (in development - almost finished) has the 2.6.34 kernel and xorg-1.8.0 and the Intel 2.11 driver which I suspect you need for that PC.
You could try openSUSE-11.3 RC1 or wait until mid-July and try 11.3 GM (final released) version.
Sorry about that (replying to me in another thread). I decided after posting that thread that my problem really fell under this category more than that one, so I decided to post here as well.
I do not know in which subforum you posted earlier, but imho this belongs to Prerelease/Beta as 11.3 is still 18 days from being released.
In any case when you decide you posted in the wrong place, try to get to a mod to move it, but do not double post.
