| Solo 9100 PII-266 180MB w/DVD | 10.0 Final | Trident Cyber9397 3D unsupported no TV-out | Yamaha YMF715 requires custom config | | | | Suspend to disk: Suspend to Ram: | Special Function keys: LCD/CRT, Standby, Suspend, and Brightness all work, others do not. Status brings up white square but no information. | Amazed at how quick it works. Better than a certain "98" OS it replaced. Truly, fully usable. Still working on sound. 2006/03/03 - Bellylaugh. | |
| M680 NVidia option | 10.0 RC1 | 1680x1050 res! | | | | | Suspend to disk: Suspend to Ram: | Use pci=noapci boot parameter modem detected, but not tested CardReader does not work Special Function keys: Wireless on/off, Sleep and Brightness all work, others do not | Very Happy, could not get sound working with NLD 9.0, I'm Stoked! 9/18/2005 -whogue | |
| 600YG2 | 9.3 | | | | | | Suspend to disk: Suspend to RAM: | Non-keyboard special function keys do not work even with kkeyled/lineakd (worked in 9.2) Fn-keys all work correctly, except LCD/CRT. | SuSE runs very well on this old laptop, and if they fix the YaST wirless config bug and if SUPER is all it's cracked up to be, it would be perfect. | |
| 600YG2 | 10.0 final | | | | | | Suspend to disk: Suspend to RAM: | CPU auto-scaling does not work, but the speed can be manually set with kpowersave. | Faster than 9.3. | |
| M275 | 10.1 | | | Unknown | | | Suspend to disk: | Not sure about if the tablet stylus works, takes some editing to xorg.conf before the screen res is right. Fn keys work but the icon in the corner looks mutilated | Happy with my computer, I just wish it would have been easier to get the screen res at 1024x768 | |
| MX7525 Athlon 64 4000+ | 10.1 64 Bit | | | | | | Runs fast and is a true multimedia system. However, still not a great gaming system. | Took awhile to get everthing working. Now running Suse instead of Windows XP as my base OS. | ||
| MX3231 | 10.3 | | | | | | Suspend to disk: Suspend to RAM: | For wireless download the driver here: http://www.realtek.cz/getfile.php save the driver on your desktop and unzip it. Go through this guide: http://www.andrewd18.com/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapperinfo-gui.php Fn key brightness supported YES (but Kpower set brightness NOT supported). Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader: | ||
| MX3560 | 10.2 | | | | | | Suspend to disk: Suspend to RAM: | Audio control on the front of the laptop works fine, able to adjust volume and mute. | Everything works great. Only had to change one setting in kmix to not use the headphone jack so that i could hear the audio through the speakers/ I have not tested the built in SD reader yet.. I will update when i get an SD card to try. | |
| MX6440 | 10.2 | | | | | | Suspend to disk: Suspend to Ram | Brightness controls work. Multimedia keys work when configured through GNOME. Have not tested VGA out, PC card slot or multimedia card reader. Modem is supported via Conexant drivers. If using fglrx ati drivers, use latest version (not the one from the repository) or suspend to disk will not work. | Extremely easy to set up, be careful when doing the last step of installation (changing hardware config). Just press "next" or system may hang. Runs like a dream, even with XGL/Beryl loaded! | |
| TB120 (aka S-7125C/E-155M/C-120X) | 10.3 x86_64 | | | | | Suspend to disk: | Tablet: Does not work as it is a USB tablet and Wacom has no driver yet. Fn-keys: All work except the Fn+arrow key brightness adjustment. Card reader: Works out of box. Suspend-to-RAM: The TB120 is not in s2ram's whitelist, so it must be manually forced to suspend. Type the following into a root shell (less single quotes:) 'touch /etc/pm/config.d/sleep; echo "S2RAM_OPTS=\"-f\""' You will then need to reload the NIC modules: 'rmmod e1000 && modprobe e1000' works for the Ethernet. | The notebook should be fully functional once Wacom delivers its USB ISDv4 tablet driver. OpenSUSE 10.3 is the first distribution that will work more or less out of the box with this machine. | ||
