Mine was working fine until I extended to dual-head. SUSE 8.1 had it working
without any problems. In fact, I hear that SLED handles it gracefully as
well. Thus, SUSE 10.2 should be no exception, so 10.1 might be a safe bet
for an easy installation.

Not that it matters, but I also came across the following this morning.
