If not, as root modprobe i8kĪnd if you need to get this module to load on boot, open yast=>system=/etc/syconfig editor Returns information, then you should be fine to install i8kutils. This allows control of custom hardware on certain Inspiron models. I think that the reason for this is the incorporation of i8kutils in those distributions. In my case, the temperature when using openSUSE can build up enough for the laptop to overheat and cause SUSE to kill KDE. If you have run a Debian-based distro, such as Ubuntu, and then openSUSE on your Dell Inspiron 1420 (or 1420n, and this may also work on a 15 or others) you will have noticed much less fan activity than you see with those distros.
