SUSE first time -- issues with TV Tuner/DVD+RW...
Hi, I recently installed SUSE 9.2 from one of the FTP mirrors. It's a multi-boot system with Fedora, Suse and Windows. I am from RedHat/Fedora background and this is my first time experience with SUSE. I liked the way SUSE has customized the KDE environment. My desktop now looks much better than my Fedora 3 system However I am having following issues. (All of these are working properly in FC3) 1. TV Tuner My Hauppage WinTV GO card is detected by Yast during install. But it cannot configure it properly. I can't see any channel. No signal is detected. FC3 system had configured it using bttv driver with card=78 and tuner=2. So in Yast's TV configuration module I tried setting these values for card and tuner through expert settings, but nothing worked. Any idea on howto enable this card? 2. DVD+-RW I have Lite-On dual layer DVD+-RW driver with a USB 2.0 external enclosure. When I connect the drive, it's detected properly but system does not mount it automatically. No entry is created under /media and konqueror does not list it under devices. But system does auto mount my external HDD. To access the DVD+RW drive, I have to scan through dmesg output, get the device string(e.g. /dev/sr0) and manually mount it as root. Also strangely K3B can show the drive when connected without any manual mount. 3. Video Player Kaffine, noatun and xine provided with the SUSE are not abe to play many of my video files (Xvid, Divx5, etc). All of these are played properly using VLC and/or mplayer on my FC3 system. Where can I find these player for SUSE. Preferrably as SUSE rpms. 4. Lock Screen When I lock the desktop using Lock screen, I can't get it back. My password does not work. I can use same password from other virtual terminals to login to the system but it does not work while unlocking the screen. This is weired... can anybody help? Thanks -Kshitij

Interesting. I don't know about your problems, but make sure you have updated your system: use "Yast online update" icon and install all patches. It might be that some of your problems are solved.

Check the packman site, I don't have the link handy. SuSE compiles xine only with options they have no doubt that are legal, and thus, many things do not work. Pity. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
