M3000N 10.3 (32bit)
from DVD
Image:22px-Tick.pngImage:22px-Tick.pngImage:22px-Tick.pngdoesn't successfully turn off

Must install with kernel in safe mode. Choose KDE desktop if you want to be able to use native 1400x1050px resolution.

If you update the kernel beyond what is on the standard 10.3 install disk then you will only render the desktop on the LHS of the screen - disable kernel updates to keep it in full screen!

Wireless and wired networks function, as does USB. Not managed to get it to actually hit the off switch - you have to pull the battery out to actually kill it (although it seems happy on a restart if you do this). Similarly with suspend to disk - it sleeps fine, and even if you have to pull the plug as described it will still restore your session.

Everything works well, without any effort. The only useful stuff is to set the native resolution

to 1280x800 with the command: "855resolution 3c 1280 800" in the file /etc/rc.d/boot.local or for SUSE 10.1, follow the instructions given in Patch the Video BIOS. Enjoy!!!

C520 10.1 Image:22px-Tick.pngImage:22px-Tick.pngImage:22px-Tick.pngImage:22px-Tick.pngImage:22px-Tick.png Installed and runs excellently. The default NVIDIA drivers pick up the 6200 and the only issue I had with them was to set the default resolution to 1280x800 rather than 1024x768. The only issue i've found is that the memory card reader does not work.

This laptop is exactly the same as the model Traveller 826T from Targa, so all things apply to both.

Suspend to RAM requires --force option then wipes the partition table. Memory Card reader tested with SD card only. Wireless works sometimes and sometimes not. Sound works, but plugging headphones does not switch the speakers off - this is driver problem.
