Hi Marc, I have not had time to look back through the history of this thread so if this has been brought up before, forgive me. But I thought I would mention that I had the same problem with my HP Pavilion dv9000t when I had openSUSE 10.2 on it. I never was able to resolve the problem, however, when I upgraded (new install) to 10.3 it just worked! In fact everything just worked - I even have the controls in kmix! I literally had no issues to fiddle with -- even my web cam worked with skype without a hitch. Frank -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
