Question Initial Config Help For Noob

Ok this is my absolute first time using Suse, I have some very limited expirience with Ubuntu but that is the extent of my *nix knowledge...very little.

Anyway I have successfully installed OpenSuse 11.1 x64 so no problems there, I am posting from the desktop right now. I just need some configuration help and in total laymans/noob terms (I have never heard of Yast before install for example).

Anyway I am at desktop, and I am using a 32" Samsung HDTV resolution is supposed to be 1920x1080, but my only options are upto 1400x1050 and only 16bit colors so its as though there are no drivers installed.

My Specs on this box are as follows:

-Phenom X3 8450
-ATi HD 4550 512MB
-4GB RAM
-Foxconn 690v mobo
-500GB HD

Very basic system, my 4550 is hooked up to my display via HDMI...which leads me to my next question, my ATi card has built in Audio and I have no clue how to activate that either.

So off the bat those are my two glaring issues

1)poor image configuration with little options

2)no audio

thanks in advance
