Things I learned:
1. Mouse still does not work in a Remote Desktop session. You’ll have to use VNC, and if you’re using Windows, the port is 5901 not 5801 like the VNC server in SuSE tells you.
2. Contrary to what the other blogs are saying, you do NOT need to run ./setup.pl x2v or do any kind of patching/compiling. All you need to do is insert the integrated components disc (Download from Microsoft Connect for free), and run ./setup.pl drivers
3. When you install SuSE, you’re better off not installing any kind of network adapter. Install the normal network adapter after installing the IC drivers.
4. There is no heartbeat monitoring in the IC drivers.
5. When you configure your time settings, use local time, not UTC time, or your system clock will screw up like mentioned above.
6. The system is significantly faster with the IC installed.
7. Be sure to use version SP2. This is what I used. My first mistake was to use the version prior to SP1.
8. DO NOT UPDATE THE KERNEL if you already installed the drivers. Or if you want to, always take a snapshot of the system first so you can roll back, reboot then reinstall the drivers. It needs to be recompiled for every new kernel version.
9. THE DVD DRIVE IS NO LONGER RECOGNIZED after driver installation :/
