Hopefully these are just Live version problems, but I suspect I’ll have to wait until 9.2 or later. SuSE 9.1, looks nice, runs fast for the most part, but falls short in hardware configuration, network configuration, and PDA usage. 1) The menus are nicely organized, and generic names are used for most programs (such as “CD / DVD Burning” instead of K3B)Ģ) The control center looks and works better than any previous version of SuSE I’ve usedģ) Yast is much faster than previous versionsĤ) Even though it didn’t detect my mouse or monitor properly, I was able to select both of them and get them working properly using the graphical tools and my keyboard alone (nice!)ĥ) The default wallpaper is appropriate, and looks fairly professional, as do the other included wallpapersĦ) Text redraw speed in Konsole was super fast, much faster than I’ve ever seen in Konsole or Gnome-Terminalġ) didn’t setup my soundcard properly (SB Audigy Gamer), had to manually run sound control panel and select the card (even though it supposedly had already detected it) before it would workĢ) didn’t detect my Logitech Dual Optical USB Mouse, had to manually select it in the control panelģ) had to manually select my monitor in control panel (Sony Multiscan E400)Ĥ) redraw is pretty slow when resizing windows, everyone says KDE 3.2.x is snappy and fast at redraw, but there are some ugly delays when resizing windows sometimes, is this SuSE specific?ĥ) my Wacom didn’t work, even after adding it in the Yast control panelĦ) many of the control panel dialogs aren’t fully visible when they first come up, I have to resize them to see the full content of the control panel without them being clipped, or in the case of some, without the picklist controls being cut in half making them unuseableħ) my mouse wheel didn’t work until I logged out and logged back in after selecting a new mouse (I know why, but new users may be confused)Ĩ) Kpilot segfaulted when trying to sync with my Palm Pilotĩ) Didn’t detect my hostname properly (it’s DHCP assigned)
