Discussion
Hello,
I run OpenSuse12.1on it. The installation went fine, therewere no errors, the OS seems to work flowlessly but I experienced 2 issues:
1. CPU fan runsall the time starting from the boot and no CPUor power consumption tools on
linux could not stop the running. The temperature of the CPU is about 58degC which is comparing to the Windows 7 running on the same PC a bit higher. Of course, everything runs flowlessly on Windows7. I also triedto update the new Bios (version 3350A08) but didi not help.
2. Tochpad does not accept clicking commands but moves the coursor ok.
So far I amblocked with the use of Linux on this PC, I am affraidto be avictime of thewar between the Microsoft and Linux community.
If you know any workaround how to solve these issues on OpenSuse12.1 or do you know another distribution working on Vostro 3350, I would strongly appreciate it.
Regards
OM
