USB mouse and keyboard |
The BIOS must be upgraded from version 1.0.3 (2006-10-02) to 1.1.4 (2007-01-01). Before upgrading the BIOS I experienced frequent mouse and rare keyboard lockups. I still need to use kernel option "acpi=noirq" to boot successfully. "Turn Off Computer" and "Suspend" works in KDE. When the machine is waking up from "Suspend", it gives an error message occasionally: "Suspend Failed". SOUND OUTPUT WORKS, but sound inputs (line and microphone) do not work (using the integrated sound card).
SYSTEM INFORMATION: Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ Kernel: Linux 2.6.18.2-34-default x86_64 |

n series | For 10.2 & Bios 1.1.4:Graphic ATI Radeon X300 integrated. Some fixable issues found with GRUB, SATA HD and bios clock, Use the kernel parameter linux pci=nomsi; and Lilo boot loader. More information of how to resolve them here [1] http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=34172
For 10.3 & Bios 1.1.10: ACPI issues, had to use acpi=off when booting, otherwise it won't boot properly. Everything else works including GRUB. Opti.320 not the best choice. ~ragsx~. |
| Optiplex 745 | 10.2 | |
|
|
n series | Graphic Card ATI Radeon X1300 is very hard to install, first you won't get any 3D, but the graphics will flow quiet well, What I did is to start by simple resolution 800x600 then I add the ATI reps. and install the ATI drivers on the kernel, after that SuSe will reboot and tell you that the installation of the OS has failed this time will begin with the new ATI drivers and the graphic card will appear on the hardware detection. |

Monitor DELL E178FPW | Video cart ATI RADEON X1300 support 3D using http://www2.ati.com/suse/10.3/ repository. I ended using 32bits OS version instead of 64 due to issues when installing java (jre 1.6) plugin for FireFox. Overall works great. ~ragsx~. |

On first Dell splash screen hit F2 to enter the BIOS. Change SATA Operation to Combination mode. Installation works fine after that. If you have an LCD-monitor you might have to change the resolution during the installation. When the first Suse installation screen appears hit the F3-button and change the resolution to 800x600 for example. When the installation is done change the resolution with Yast. USB keyboard does not function with BIOS A11 when trying to boot OpenSUSE 10.3. |

xgl works out of the box make sure to disable TPM protection in BIOS before install. A11 bios from Dell inactivate the USB keyboard in Grub. Stay up to the A10 Bios who work well. System does not boot reliably with 11.4 32-bit. 64-bit runs reliably. |

Dell BIOS update REQUIRED (v 1.0.9). Tested with Hybrid 140g (configuration order #118B).
