Hi,

well as it is said in you rmessage, you need to install kernel sources... so open a terminal, and type "uname -a" to know which kernel version you are running then you have to download the sources corresponding to your kernel version and then install them.
the problem is that I don't really know Suse but I know that they have useful tools to install packages... these tools are yum/yast... but i can't tell you how to use them

it says this?

download this: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/u....11.x86_64.rpm
and then do:
to install kernel sources... and you should be able to run correctly your previous prog

thank you gonna try it now

after installing new source and when i try to install ac97 driver i get this

Cheers

i see salsa solves the problem on some other forums?

u know wich one i should dl and how to install?

oh yes, again I would like to thank you for ur fast and good reply u made

cheers

why does it says intel while i got a amd processor???

cheers Tester

'cause intel does not only do processor... it does all sort of chipset like audio chipset
so your chipset is an intel one
