ok 3 main problems to begin with
I got a hold of suse linux 8.2 yesterday installed it and when I try to play music off my other partitions at first it said there was no audio hardware - but now it is just playing the mp3s with the time bar going along - the sound bar on 100% - but sitll no music - i was wondering what could be the solution - its the C-Media9738 soundcard

Secondly I do not know how to install the internet, I have freeserve broadband with the weird green usb thing!

and finally when it was installing it recognized my graphics card ati radeon 7000 - yer its the bugger of all graphics cards!! - but its saying that it doesnt have any 3D acceleration so I can't play the quality games

bear in mind I am a complete newbie - does anyone have any websites which have the basics of using suse linux on them?

thankyou

andy

I can not help very much but you need to say what modem you have in order to get help regarding the internet and thenhopefully someone more knowledgeabel than myself will be able to help.

Good luck

alcatel speedtouch usb/asdl modem

I would rather exchange the usb modem for ethernet one. But try these links first:

http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/
http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/howto.html

Check www.ati.com for the linux driver. 3D may not work yet because the support for XFree86 version 4.3 is not there yet but the said it's comming soon ;-)

Try open konsole, su, alsaconf
Can you hear anything?

ok im trying the drivers - I would like to thank you all for your help so far it is highly appreciated!
its like starting all over again with windows apart from this thing doesnt crash and has more card games :P

i am not sure if freeserve broadband supports an ethernet card :S
