Hi George,
Sorry I can't help with the SuperDisk as I've never used one, but
If your Xircom card is a CE II or CE-10BT then there is no support, check
the
pcmcia-howto at
hyper.stanford.edu/HyperNews/get/pcmcia/home.html
your mouse is probably a ps/2, make sure you have gpm running and looking at
/dev/psaux
What is video chipset?
the Alsa main page mentioned by Matt is at
alsa.jcu.cz
I remember doing an install of suse 6.1 and there was something about DVD
support
in there. Maybe someone else knows more.
