Hello to all, I have faced two problem using OpenSuse in my one of the friends laptop. When i boot in open suse mouse pad does not support, it does not work. While the same thing just for checking what is the real problem may be, I tried to boot in Windows, and it support, it works.
Second problem is Linux allows windows partition to mount, read write data in that partitions. Using openSuse i tried to use windows "ntfs" filesystem partion, which before do not allow mounting partition, but after using umonunt and remounting technique it allow to mount. I can list the data from that partition but not allow to create folder or edit data? Error: Permission Denied, Even i change to root as sudo user giving the same problem.
Please give me solution!!!!
Regards, Racewithg

First avoid opensuse like the plague.
you need the synaptic driver.

Check the licence. This should help.

Infact read the whole thread.
Two years ago we thought we could have ducked under "software patents are not recognized in India". With the Indian patent office granting innumerable software patents, and attempting to provide a legal backdoor, that defence is no longer available unless you have fat money or lawyer friends to defend you in court.
And by the way Novell was one of the companies supporting M$ farcical document standards, in contradiction of all logic - yet another indication of their double standards.
Once you are aware of the politics of software and how it can screw you, to each his own poison pill.

Novell has changed the licence. So they realised the stupidity of their ways.
http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_EULA
They are now eqivalent to Fedora as far as licences go.
But the next para still holds.

You have not mentioned the distro version or the laptop model.

The newer distros use ntfs-3g to mount ntfs partitions as read-write.
eg ' mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mountpoint ( -o force ) '
