Hello, all--and probably goodbye--
I know you have been helpful thruout all this time-- I've been with SuSE since 7.1, but I've had it.
I recommend you leave you 'broken' suse on, and install xp and another distro, like say Mepis, and see what the these do. This will help determine if there is a hardware problem. Install them 'clean' to see what an unaltered software install does.
You could even install another suse 9.2 and see how it runs clean. Do you run as root or a user in most cases?

Ah, I see that you, too, have discovered Knoppix. Yep, unlike Suse 9.2 Live Evaluation, it recognised all my hardware without me having to lift a finger. Nice. Cheers. -- Douglass's Law: Clutter tends to expand to fill the space available for its retention.
