  • Sometimes doesn't power off/reboot automatically (need to hold the power button for 4 seconds)
  • Inbuilt memory card reader doesn't work
  • I haven't tried dual head, TV out, PCMCIA, the new PCMIA style slot or modem
  • Converting a CD to OGG in KDE cause the pointer to go crazy if you touch the track pad, works fine afterward (must be an IDE problem).
  • IMPORTANT - requires acpi=noirq to install and boot.
  • * Proprietary ATI drivers require you to share 128MB of system RAM with the graphics card (freezes or loads default unaccellerated drivers otherwise).
  • ** I couldn't get the wireless working with NDISWrapper in 64-bit even with latest NDISWrapper and 64-Bit XP drivers. I suspect the 64-bit XP drivers were not suitable

Touchpad works, but for some reason neither YAST nor KDE is able to disable it even when you tell them to (I hate touchpads). Fortunately I was able to tape some cardboard over it to effectively disable it. Of course, if you like touchpads, then there's no problem. Important: If you're doing the 64-bit installtion you must add the boot option "noapic" or the video won't work (use F3 at the install prompt). 32-bit doesn't seem to need the extra boot option. Other than that, the install went perfectly.

If you want the wireless to work, I'd recommend the Linksys WPC55AG wireless card since that worked for me, but if want a different card, make sure that you check compatability before you buy one (http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ is a good site), particularly if you're running in 64-bit mode. You're pretty much going to want a card that works with the kernel since it's difficult to get 64-bit Windows drivers for ndiswrapper to use.
