Good-bye Win XP

This weekend I took the plunge! I scrubbed XP off of my laptop (HP Pavilion XH485) and installed SuSE 7.3. I have been goofing with RedHat for years but this is my first SuSE experience. It impressed me so much that I I decided to make it my primary OS. I have a couple of things yet to solve... How do I get my scroll wheel of the mouse to work? Also I need to know what a good solution would be to get the DVD drive to play DVDs. I have been looking at Ogle.. but have not tried it yet. I also noticed that 3d acceleration is not enabled for the video card (Trident Cyberblade 8 meg). Is this possible? Anyway- good bye Microsoft... JB
