Suse Linux 9.1

I bought the boxed version of Suse Linux 9.1. The update went quite smoothly. Although it reported about 1500 package conflicts, they were all just consequences of kopete 0.81 (my icq client) and vlc 0.71 (my video player). I resolved the conflicts by first unprotecting the non-Suse packages that I had installed and then risking system inconsistencies. However, after the update both kopete and vlc still functioned. On the other hand VMWare 4.0.5 broke but updating to 4.5.1 helped. Suse Linux 9.1 is supposed to have better energy management for laptops, but this appeared only partially to be true. In my case the DSDT is apparently buggy (the DSDT is apparently some kind of description how the BIOS' powersaving features interact with the operating system). Therefore everytime I log in I get the annoying message "The powersave daemon is not running or you are not a member of the powersave group. Starting it will improve performance /usr/sbin/rcpowersave start." There is a discussion thread here. Another more annoying than serious issue is that whenever I print a pdf file from acrobat I get the warning: "kprinter: WARNING : KFilterBase::findFilterByExtension. no filter found for text/plain". But the printing works despite the error message.
