[Erledigt]HP 550 Notebook - openSUSE 11.1 intallation perfekt

Sonderangabot von Conrad.de - HP 550 Notebook ohne OS - €399 - 64-Bit 2GHz Celeron M, 3GB Arbeitsspeicher, 160GB Festplatter, 15,4 Zoll 1200x800 Bildschirm.

Installed openSUSE 11.1 / KDE 4 von boxed set DVD.

Installation läüft problemlos - einzel Trick bei install: boot option für Bildschirm auflösung auf 800x600 statt 1024x768 setzen. (Danach installiert openSUSE automatisch die rictige Einstellungen - 3D 120x800)

- Hardware richtig ekannt
- alle Funktionstasten funktionieren richtig
- Akkuüberwachung / Powermanagement ist perfekt.

Spater habe ich TERRATEC Cinergy T USB XXS DVB-T Stick angeschlossen. USB Stick ist richtig erkannt aber Firmware muss manuell in /lib/firmare eingefügt. Link:

Notebook macht richtig spass!

Yes, both Notebook and openSUSE 11.1 are both very impressive.

The only part of the notebook I have not used is the wlan. Although I notice that the network controller is correctly identified:

lspci |grep -i net
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82562GT 10/100 Network Connection (rev 03)
10:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)

However, the firmware is not part of the openSUSE distribution and thus only eth0 (and not wlan0) shows up in the yast2 network configuration tool.

The new KDE4 desktop is fun if sometimes the configuration options are limited compared to KDE 3.5.10. (This is not a negative comment on KDE4 - KDE 3.5.x is simply a very good desktop.) The KDE4 3D graphics are great.

The knetworkmanager always detects the network connection when the the notebook is plugged into the netgear router. But if I want to configure the netgear access point I have to use yast2 to manually set the ip address.

An external monitor or even a breitband TV on the VGA connector works very well in twin head mode.

The dual layer brenner functions well -25 minutes for a 6,5GB Video DVD.

One more tip: If you add additional working memory, the larger of the two DIMMs must be in slot 1.

Thats about it...

Packmann has the broadcom drivers for the standard, debug and trace kernels.

I am using the trace kernel.

The wlan can be configured over knetwork manager.

For some reason the wlan connection is named eth0 instead of wlan0 but it functions never-the-less...
