Installing OpenSUSE 11.3 on a ThinkPad T410s
Contents
Model
Lenovo Thinkpad T410s 2912-W1C, BIOS 1.11
General
This installation instruction describes these parts that do not or do not completely work after my OpenSUSE 11.3 Milestone 7 DVD installation using KDE 4 as window manager.
Graphics
Enabling compositing crashes X due to a bug in the Intel 2010Q1 graphics package. Fixed packages are available [1].
Network
Because of bug [2], the laptop pattern must be installed manually using YaST. Then, YaST must be used to switch to NetworkManager instead of traditional ifup.
