I have recently changed to SuSE 9.3 64bit, and I love it . . . except for a few things.
1) GRUB does not seem to like my windows partition. I have tried to modify my menu.lst file with the proper commands(the ones that made it work in FC4). I put down "map (hd1) (hd0) *next line* map (hd1) (hd0)" that would make windows the center of the universe again, and it would all play nice. Why doesn't it work now? I can post the contents of my menu.lst file if you want to see them. hd1 is a SATA(windows), hd0 is an IDE(SuSE).
2) Graphics acceleration - I could get the ATI drivers to do 3d acceleration just fine in FC4. Here, I get an error that says "Driver does not provide the FireGL X11 extensions! Panel components will operate only partially." I have tried re-installing the ATI display driver to no avail. Are my "Tux Racer" days over?
3) HP printer drivers - These are a pain in the butt. I have gotten the lates hplip drivers compiled and installed, it says that my printer is compatible(PSC 1610xi), but I cannot find the driver in the list given to me by YaST, and the uri it gives me works, but then I get a message that says "The current spooler does not support this printer. Continue?". No similar drivers seem to work.
Sorry about posting sooo much on my 5th post here, but I would like to use windows again, if possible. I have some network issues to sort out, and some homework I need to submit!
