No, it is not supported! It produces unreadable menus even in the selection menu for the environment to use (KDE, Gnome…). In KDE around 50% of the menus are not readable at the top half. You cannot use it.

Hi there.

Does that mean I can not use a Crucial C300 or Crucial M4 (once it is available) on a SATA-3 Port with Suse 11.4?
As I am planning to move to exactly on of these SSDs this would be a Showstopper for me… :-(

Kind Regards,
Martin

Yes, Sandy Bridge will be supported in 11.4.

Please include Sandy bridge graphics support.
Without it, it will be another release, which is obsolete even before it is released.
Note that Ubuntu 11.04 beta 2 had Sandy bridge graphics support on February 3rd.

Change the hinting to “slight” in font rendering.

I can’t boot from harddisk. Well, I can in safe mode. but not otherwise. I have even deleted all partitions and let OpenSuse handle the re-partitioning at time of installation. Still the same, after the initial bootscreen which allows for the choice between safe mode and normal boot, the screen goes black, the harddisk falls silent and that’s it.

This is amazingly Stable for a pre Release Candidate build. I can’t wait to try the Release Candidate.

I have to say opensuse is the best looking distro out. Doing a great job. I’m testing on a virtual machine now, but I will probably install this weekend to test more. thanks
