[Protux-support] protux-0.16.0-mh1 test report SuSE 8.0

[Olaf Meltzer]

Hello,

experiences with protux-0.16.0-mh1 on SuSE linux 8.0 follow.
As soon as I recognized 'jmb.map' in the ressources 
subfolder, my beginners-questions were answered.

Most of the implemented features are functioning as 
projected. I was surprised, how far development has grown 
since I had a first look on it some time (half a year?) 
ago. I'm eagerly looking forward to have this tool fully 
functional working on my system.

Perhaps the one or the other is interested in how far the 
announced features are really up and running. I copied the 
JogMouseBoard Map and deleted all projected but not yet 
implemented stuff. The remainder is still impressing, and I 
annotated, what I recognized, when I tested these features 
on my ...

Homebrewed AMD Duron 1,2 MHz, 256KB, 2 x 10GB HD, 
nVidia-something
SB 128 PCI, WinTV-something.

These are the facts:
