As I said, I like the improvements of 7.3. My parallel Zip drive was automatically recognized. The problems with the Atapi CD, RW seem to solved. But for now I have no TV. The TV card was configured by me during the new instalation. It is an old Hauppage card. I found out that it did not work and from my long wrestling with the card during my 7.2 setup I know that instead of pll 0 this card, a late revision needs the input pll 1. The change in Yast2 did not work out so that I looked into modules.conf where I found that the respective lines for the card initialization where not unmarked. Does 7.3 have its TV card configuration in another place? Or should I unmark the inputs or bttv and use depmod -a, rmmod bttv and modprobe bttv as before? My first try did not bring any changes in the card behavior. The result is still a black TV screen ;-(.
