openSuse 11.0 is going fine for me on my old athlon 1500 msi based home built, but for one thing. My 6-1 card reader (the kind that runs directly off the usb headers on the system board is not recognised at all. Its not that won't mount, it just doesn't show up anywhere. It has power etc and is connected correctly (lots of rechecks!). It worked fine on opensuse 10.3 and now it isn't there. other usb things including my hub work fine.

Any ideas anyone?

@Ray

If you have an nVidia card, get the nvidia-settings package - I use that to configure my dual-monitor settings as well as use projectors and such (which has been quite a problem on linux systems in the past).

I can't say for sure it is available 64bit, though. At one point I used Ubuntu 64 bit on this machine and wound up reinstalling with 32 as I wasn't seeing much performance gain anywhere, but I *was* seeing a lot of packages & advice that didn't work for my 64 bit system. YMMV

Good post…

Just to let you know that I am currently on Suse 11 64bit on my T61 Laptop for work and on our home desktop for the whole family. the only disadvantage now is getting multiple monitors to work but this isn’t a suse issue as those on ubuntu are also experiencing the same problem. All apps and devices works effortlessly. My son (11yrs) uses it for his homework, Chat and games (some windows game via wine), he loves using it and now venturing into command line’s finally we are Microsoft free !!!

Sorry, should have added that. I have a lenovo Thinkpad T61 with an nVidia video driver and intel wireless. As I noted, Suse 11 has made it easy with those. My only ongoing issue is (re-) learning a new repository management system. I am getting to know zypper, but still miss aptitude something fierce.
