Suse 9.2 Sound & Video Issues


Hello,
I have the GA-8I915G Pro (Rev 1.x) board with a Geforce 6600GT on a viewsonic A90F+ monitor. I have integrated audio using the CM9880 Codec with Intel Advanced Audio. Here are my issues:

1. When I boot into Suse the desktop (KDE 3.3) video is very choppy. When I try to scroll up and down on WebPages I can see the frames moves across the screen. It is as though I don't have the correct video driver or monitor settings. I d/led the NVIDIA drivers using the YAST tool and configured the monitor based on the specs from Viewsonic's website. I am very confused as to what is going on. Any ideas?

2. I can't get my audio diver to load. I tried the audio driver supplied by giga-byte with no luck..I don't know what to try next.

I would have posted the links to the hardware sites, but I don't have 5 posts yet.

Thanks for the help.

Buy a sound blaster card for your sound issues. Who knows what your built-in gigabyte motherboard has in terms of driver support.

As for the video, thats a driver issue most likely... or a video card issue.
I would suggest looking at you driver you are using and viewing in Suse 'yast config, hardware' what the setup is and such. Maybe there's a better choice of settings and resolution you can pick.

My suggestion is lower it to barebones resolutoin and see if your speed increases.
