SUSE 9..1 on an Armada m700

[Ed Liddle]

I installed suse 9 on my hp omnibook 6000 and have encountered the same
problem. I found a way around it by turning the lcd screen off and then
back on via the Fn key and on my laptop the F5 key that has a monitor
symbol on it. I hope this helps. I have not tried to find a fix for it
due to lack of time. I did how ever previously installed suse 8.2 on the
same laptop and did not have this problem.
