That is really weird. I have always had exactly the opposite problems with
SuSE on my laptops. Video was always detected correctly and I could never get
sound working. I have tried every version from 7 to 8.2 on my Thinkpad 600.
Video was never a problem, but I have never managed to get the sound module
to work with SuSE.
The most laptop friendly distros that I have tried yet have been Mandrake and
Mepis. Mandrake has worked without any fuss on every machine that I have ever
installed it on, and Mepis only required updating ALSA to work on the laptop.
