Hi,
Me too,now have SuSE 5.3 up and running without many problems. I also
had a problem when setting up my mouse:- if i set it up first with YaST when
doing the initial installation and then set up X with SAX then I got a
multiple entry problem. I resolved this by saying no in YaST then using SAX
to configure it later.
After following this list for some time before trying linux I thought
the biggest problems would be with some kinds of hardware, eg soundcards but
happily my awe 64 card worked perfectly ( using tcd ) the first time after
changing kernels to 2.0.36 and using the sound options when building the new
kernel. In fact all i had to change was the irq to 10 and dma channel 1 to
0, what puzzles me is how one would know these figures if it wasnt set up on
a windows box first?.
Complaints?? only one so far, I have found it absolutely impossible :)
to get the simplest form of connection to my isp up and running, How come
its so easy under W9x?? and so complicated under linux???
Trevor.
