Hey! After a week and half-later you post a response! :-D .
Great thanks for the reply, as you know :-) . Well, I'm a bit behind with email flow, but I'm catching up :)
I've got vlc working but only *AFTER* installing it *directly* from Packman and Pascal's "*one click install*". What came from the oS repos was useless. I'm using vlc repo, as well as Packman. Where did you find VLC in openSUSE repos? I just checked and the only that offers player is Packman. (I don't have videolan repo.)
(As well as the above, interestingly, unless one uses the Tools>Preferences option, any changes to parameters will not 'stick' and will only work until one changes, for example, a TV channel; that is, if set anywhere else, like Video (Settings>Deinterlace) they "donna sticka"
:-) .) Well, I did not customize much, it simply works for anything that I throw on it. Also, I don't use TV card, so I don't have much reasons to deinterlace anything.
[BTW, I am using KDE4.6.2 and my comments above relate to 4.6.2 with 11.4, 32-bit system.)

Sorry to have taken so long to respond but I just caught sight of your message. It would appear that the way to really get vlc working in openSUSE is to install it directly from videolan.org using either using the "1-click install" or (as I had to do) use the command line zypper instructions. I have to qualify this statement of mine, without trying to start a verbal war, that I had to use videolan.org when I installed vlc for the Gnome version of oS 11.4. The copy from packman for KDE worked OK. It is rather sad that there is no co-ordination between what is necessary to have apps such as vlc for KDE and for Gnome installed correctly :-( . As well as this, I had to "get rid" of pulseaudio to get sound working properly for vlc in Gnome where, before I did so, I was getting stuttering in the sound. Got rid of pulseaudio and the sound was perfect. Pulseaudio is a PITA, an obnoxious cockroach which should be stomped on by an elephant wearing heavy industrial boots.
