oohhh, what a blunder. I did it again, bought an HP apparatus although I'd sworn never to buy HP (being a pseudo suporter of OSS only) again.
But, sigh, it was very good offer. My elderly mother (74) is going to keep closer contact with freinds using this modern thing called E-mail.
It had MS Vista on it - for about 4 minutes - and then OpenSuSE10.2 clean. Works with wireless (after a little fiddling), works with 1280x800 screen (after a lot of fiddling and searching this list, thanks!)
Only the microphone input, needed with Skype, doesn't work.
Any good hints, what info shall I provide?

At the risk of sounding obvious, have you enabled the microphone in the mixer applet? Mine was disabled by default.

Hi
- Eh, mixer applet? - I fired up a KDE app called Kmix. In that I get two tabs, one output and one input. There's a mic input, the radiobutton i s red. When I click it, it becomes pink (sort of), not green. I push the vertical slider to the top.
Still no sound.
Does this help?

Kmix is one of the apps. I'm don't have my laptop right now so I can't remember how to get to the other one but it should be in the multimedia apps group (sound controls or something like that). It's odd that the X goes pink, though. Mine goes away and I then have mic input. Sorry I can't be of more help. Maybe it's an HP thing. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 5160.

- thank you for your help! - well, on my DELL PRECISION M90 (SuSE10.2) the Kmixer looks exactly the same - and the mic doesn't work on that machine either. - I'll let it be for now, will look into it some day :-)
- thank you all the same!
Not sure if this helps - but on my Latitude D820 - intel_hda - I have to select in KMix the Switches Tab and then from the Input Source drop-down ->Line and then ->Mic again to get the microphone going.?? No idea why.
