From openSUSE

my computer is an asus A8V Deluxe m/b, amd 64 3000+, 1GB pc3200, geforce fx 5600 ultra 128mb, emu 1212m w/ daughter board, audigy gamer, antec true power 480w, sata 120gb, two maxtor 80gb in raid 0, plextor 716a, sony 48x24x48. as you can see i have quite a hodge podge of hardware, but suse did install and start up without a hitch. i even got xgl working with nvidia's drivers, and following the guide to get it running. i have two monitors, a 19" and a 17". i was able to strech the screen across both the thing i didn't like about xgl was it basically made one desktop stretch across both screens. what i mean by that is the menu button is on the bottom left on the left monitor, and the clock is on the bootom right in the right monitor. i switched back to regular x due to this. the only other issue i had was from having two sound cards installed. i had sound working once, then i had to tweak things cause that's what i do, and i broke it. can't seem to fix it i will probably just reinstall. the network card works without a hitch, alhtough like the other a8v dude i also don't know how gigabit works. this is the only computer i have with gigabit. well that's about it on my experience, if you got any questions feel free to ask
