Installing Suse Linux on Laptop: Step-by-Step Guide

[ranger]

when i go into the power control area, it says stuff about apm kernel drivers.

What stuff? Your kernel probably may not have been compiled with apm support.

OK, so how do i fix that?

Okay before we go ahead and recompile the kernel I need to know what errors you got in the control area.

My knowledge is fairly limited when it comes to recompiling a new kernel. But read http://www.kernelnewbies.org/faq/.

I also found this.
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Getting_APM_Suspend_to_Work

Its for gentoo though, but the basic theory is the same.

NOTE: The emerge command is gentoo specific.

I will take a look at that.

Its difficult since I don't have wireless working on that computer at this time (I know how to do that, just wanted to get some other stuff working first). Once I get that up and going, I will post the exact error message.

Can anyone say where will we get the keystrokes. Because we planned to instal Suse and the instal disc contains help files but not keystrokes

 

[dduardo]

What keystrokes are you talking about?

I would like to get the volume control keys to work and sleep/hibernate.
