MANY problems - too many for me to list.  All of the modules, as well
as the location of same have changed, and it sounds from reading your
threads (this one and the other 3 on the same subject) that there's no
way you'll know how to fix that.  Why not try other keyboard drivers -
suse comes with several that are close enough to handle english that
have minor differences that might be enough to enable your bar code
scanner.
