[ltp] T41 and SuSE 9.0

[Mark Houlder]

I installed suse9 (from CD) ok on first attempt; not sure if i used any 
kernel params at the time but here are mine now: (for T41 2373-9FU)

(minus kernel and root options, which will be different)


vga=0x342 splash=silent acpi=off desktop hdc=ide-scsi hdclun=0 
cachesize=1024 showopts


not sure if the vga one will work straight from the off, but the one to 
note is "acpi=off"


currently have everything working under suse9, caveat:

-wifi is buggy (madwifi drivers from CVS, work but give error msgs to 
logs and occasionally hang machine); kismet works ok though
-alsa version on suse9 has buggy oss-emulation, which crashes machine if 
used (sometimes)
-apm suspend/resume works but breaks a few obscure things on resume
-hardware 3D works but flickers with opengl stuff like screensavers
-modem works ok with Agere drivers (taints kernel, not included in suse9 
distro)

(all that with 2.4.21 kernel)
