I hope SuSE will rewrite the code that causes these DMA-issues. I don't want
to work with a computer that has DMA turned off.
With DMA (for the harddisk) turned off I managed to install SuSE 7.3 on my
Blade 100 with internal graphics and 384 MB RAM. Everything worked fine
with one exception: The display showed strange pixel-errors which made it
very
uncomfortable to work with.
The third major problem is sound. I was unable to get the internal sound
working.
If anybody had a solution for that, it would be greatly appreciated.
To SuSE: Is it possible to fix those problems?
