    If you install MS Windows 7 on it first, it is not possible to install OpenSuSE as a dual boot as there will be 4 primary partitions on it before you install OpenSuSE (one or 2 of them being the Windows restoration partitions as there is no optical drives on this machine. Once I deleted the Windows partion (the largest partition), I was able to install OpenSuSE Live KDE from a live USB flash drive. This left the Windows restoration partitions (I hope) in case I have to consider the unpalatable so that my son can use it in school. So, I don't believe I have a Dual boot, just the possibility of re-installing MS Windows. I do not know what would have happened if I had installed OpenSuSE first.

    Audio and video tested with Skype, and audio only worked after an update and reboot.

    Highly recommend using an external DVD drive over a Live USB flash drive.

    Nice end result, even with choppy streaming video.

    Special Fn actions and multimedia keys working by loading the omnibook module ( needs sources from trunk) and using a program to monitor these (like KToshiba >= 0.4.0).
    Sound works out of the box, however, newer ALSA drivers are needed to get full sound support.
    Composite works by adding the following to Device section in xorg.conf:
    Option "RegistryDwords" "PerfLevelSrc=0x2222; PowerMizerLevel=0x1; PowerMizerLevelAC=0x1"
    In 11.2, the video.ko kernel module crashes, you need to blacklist the module to prevent it from loading automatically.

If you want bluetooth, you need to load the toshiba_acpi module (comes with opensuse's default kernel) and after that toshbt module (does not come with opensuse's default kernel, you need to download it and compile it separately).
