I figured that I would give Linux another try today, so I installed SuSe 8.1 figuring it would be the easiest to fool around with.
Linux as of yet is still incompatible with my soundcard and printer (even though it's a common HP printer????), and I can only go as high as 1024x768 (even though my card/monitor support 1600x1200). This happens even though it is all properly detected.
My Logitech wireless optical mouse isn't fully compatible, either. I can move the cursor around, but the scroll button doesn't cause anything to scroll, and I can't customize my side button to my liking, and it moves too fast and rather inaccurate.
Maybe I'll try the latest Red Hat and see if that is any different, but I doubt it. I'd really like to use Linux, but I'd like to use all my hardware in it at least. I can deal with switching back to Windows for games, but to print and listen to music? Not worth it.
...sigh...
Oh, and incase anyone is wondering, I have a Toshiba Satellite 5105-S607, and an HP DeskJet 960c.
