Installing opensuse 11.1 on T61p.
Configuration
My T61p is a 6457-BQG, Intel Core2Duo 2,6GHz, 4GB RAM, 180 GB HDD, Nvidia Quadro FX 570M, 15.4" TFT (1900x1200), Intel AGN 4965 wifi, Bluetooth, Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio.
Installation
Factory disk: two partitions: r&r and vista. I was first preparing a dual boot system, but gparted was not able to resize the vista partition. After many retries, I dropped the idea of dual boot and decided for suse-only system. I kept only the r&r and partitioned the rest with gparted as:
/dev/sda1 r&r 6GB /dev/sda2 /boot 64MB /dev/sda3 extended /dev/sda5 / 40GB /dev/sda6 swap 4GB /dev/sda7 /home 130GB
Network install was almost without problems (the partition configuration had to be edited during the installation, since the installers was offering some foolish configuration). Windowmanager: KDE4.
Worked out of the box
Wireless, sound (use kmix to get internal mic switched on), ethernet. Video: installed rpm-s from download.nvidia.com, fancy 3d animations of KDE4 work, FramesPerSecond(FPS) measured with glxgears is around 3000.
Problems
There is a strange interplay between the nvidia driver and suspend2ram. Since s2ram was not working with nvidia-rpms,
I deinstalled them and installed the driver using the script NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.22-pkg2.run (needs kernel-source package installed). Accept to write new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file at the end of install script. FPS is around 12000. Adding
S2RAM_OPTS="--force" to /etc/pm/config.d/defaults makes s2ram work, however no 3d animations in kde. Adding Composite flag to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (by calling # nvidia-xconfig --composite) makes 3d animations work, but s2ram fails. I tried out an older nvidia-driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.82-pkg2.run), too: s2ram ok, 3d animations work, but FPS is only 3000.
