Good day, Masaru, and Packmans!
Thank you very much for this information!
I had tried all of Felix's suggestions, and a few other things besides, but
no luck. Then I got sidetracked onto something else.
I was just about to write a long post with my findings, but you have saved
me the trouble.
There is a limit to how much more time I can afford to spend on this today,
I have several urgent items I need to attend to before next week.
I still think it's worth writing a HOWTO and posting it on the OpenSUSE
hardware forums, it may save others from wasting a lot of their time. I
will try to do that at some stage.
Regards,
Steven.
