Video actually means "SaX detects the video card and configures the X server out-of-the-box". Playing DVDs legally under Linux is only possible with LinDVD or PowerDVD for Linux which actually is not available to end users. But this (and "I can not play MP3 files") has been discussed many times since I am on this list :). Just search the archive for "mp3" or "PowerDVD". > Power Management is partially > working: The light get's darker when I pull the plug BUT the cpu clockspeed > is always on 598MHz, which can only be a bad joke.

Start OpenOffice.org while watching /proc/cpuinfo. You will see that the frequency rises as soon as the power is needed. If you want to run at full speed, change the active power management scheme (right click to the plug icon beside the clock in KDE -> "Set active scheme" -> Performance). > Printing does not work on my HP Color Laser Jet 1500, which should be > connected over lpr on another machine(attached on usb port).

There is a printer driver called "Color LaserJet Series PCL 6" and "Color LaserJet" in YaST. The latter one is a PostScript driver. If your printer supports PostScript, I would prefer that one (I actually could not find a HP color LaserJet 1500 on the hp website). > Next point is that I can't get entrance or enlightenment to work. under > gentoo I could easily change under /etc/rc.conf which displaymanger was > used.

They configure everything in /etc/sysconfig. In YaST you will find an editor: "System" -> "Editor for /etc/sysconfig files". > Btw what is earlykdm? kdm just with a cooler name? :) This starts kdm as the first service in runlevel 5. So, you can login while the rest of the services is loaded in the background. Seems as it would boot faster while actually, it does not. > I also hate the image on grub.. *shrug keep it simple, the same goes to the > kde background, why not just use the standard kde background?

You see it in both places. The stick is mounted to /media/usbstick by the hotplug daemon. And KDE shows all media under "media:/". > The SuSE watcher seems to be for windows XP migrants :) but oh well, nice > to have... Well I think it is quite useful not to check for updates manually. And remember that the SuSE watcher was here before Windows XP offered its service. > apache2 works, all these processes just have to be activated first. Yes, of course. But before activating it, configuring should be done. You can do that in YaST, too (network services -> http).
