I would like to here from persons that have had these problems fixed.
- Can't get my MB sound card to work (Intel ICH7) consistent.
- alsasound will not stay "yes" in the system service levels.
- rcalsasound or alsactl reports (alsa) "inactive" - and - can't get it active. Have you tried tinkering with the Pulse settings? The previous discussion you had about this ended (I think) with Rajkos suggestion

None of those suggestions work either. I uninstall Pulse and made sure there were no Pulse related modules in the libraries but still no difference. I feel something broke between 11.4 and 12.1 because everything works fine in 11.4.
- Can't get my display to stay at 1024x768 Are you using a CRT? or a TFT?
If you are using a TFT, you should be aware (I'm guessing you are) that they each have a fixed native resolution, and any other resolution is... going to be a problem. When you force a non-native resolution, you end up with fuzzy lines and fonts because the monitor it forced span things that should be single a pixel across several neighboring pixels.
On top of that if your monitor is a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ration you're really going to mess things up visually if you go to 1024x768 which it a 4:3 aspect ratio. Circles will no longer be circles, etc.
If the reason you are forcing a non-native resolution is you need the display to be "bigger" to aid visual limitations of the user, then you could maybe look at desktop zoom instead of munging the resolution. Or change the desktop font sizes (default is 9 point) to a larger size.
I'm using a Dell 17" LCD. And, as I stated above, I can get the display to stay at 1024x768 in 11.4 and everything looks fine.
- Can't get rid of the "Nepomuk Indexing Disabled) popups Update KDE4 to the latest 4.8.2, and the problem should go away.
Is 4.8.2 in the repositories ?
Another alternative... openSUSE 12.2 M4 will be out soon.. you could give it a whirl and see how it works out. Overall it's working well on my laptop - a few bugs of course, but... it might be worth a shot.
