Be careful, there's a hidden recovery partition which could screw up your partition table. Just call Lenovo, get the recovery DVDs for free and delete the hidden partition.<br /> <br /> == Graphics ==<br /> <br /> X might not work with the vesa driver, so if your KDE or gnome goes blank on first boot press STRG+ALT+BACKSPACE, open yast in console and install the binary driver from nvidia. I chose the 177.13 beta version because i had suspend2disk trouble with openSuSE 10.3, works fine now, see below.<br /> <br /> I also encountered some strange font-size trouble in kdm &amp; yast, to fix this set dpi to 120 in systemsettings (both as root and user) and set font size in /etc/X11/qtrc to a very small value (i chose 7)<br /> <br /> Haven't tried the SUB-D connector for external graphic devices yet.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Sound ==<br /> <br /> Worked out of the box.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Ethernet ==<br /> <br /> Worked out of the box.<br /> <br /> <br /> == WiFi ==<br /> <br /> after some installation retries (maybe it was kde4-network-something) I managed to connect to a wpa encrypted wifi network. don't know why it didn't work before.<br /> <br /> == Bluetooth ==<br /> <br /> Haven't tried it yet.<br /> <br /> == Power Saving ==<br /> <br /> Had to install kpowersave to use it, but works fine now.<br /> <br /> Suspend2Disk and Suspend2RAM (had to add S2RAM_OPTS=--force to /etc/pm/config.d/s2ram because this model is not yet whitelisted) both worked out of the box (again, with nVidia beta).<br /> <br /> == Hotkeys ==<br /> <br /> partial: Suspend (after installing kpowersave) and backlight hotkeys work but not the sound hotkeys. wifi hotkey (Fn+F5) works but since the Wifi indicator keeps dark state is not visible.<br /> <br /> == Fingerprint Reader ==<br /> <br /> Works, but no KDE-support (yet).
