Ok, let me just answer to every reply of yours.

Thanks, that’s very valuable info.
- Never had this problem. You need to specify detail with screens and your settings for fonts and hinting.
Now… this one is a little bit tougher… let me just tell you at once, that i have LCD monitor that is not identified by EDID with Nvidia drivers. I dunno why, but initially it gives me lowres whereas it actually has to give me 1280x1024. I had this on Debian too, and every other distro i’ve tried and what i did was… i connected my PC to BBK TV/monitor which was identified successfuly and gave all REAL resolutions, forced it down to 1280x1024 (it’s actually HD 1920x…) saved xorg.conf and used it back on Debian. I know, that’s tricky, but i was just tired messing with xorg, trying to add some resolutions, it was all useless, so i decided to go tricky a bit. Anyhow, it worked, and it still works for me on Debian, no probs with that, be compiz off or on - doesn’t matter. So i guess it shouldn’t matter for SUSE either, but i had to provide these details for not to bring anyone in confusion. Also, speaking of fonts, on Debian i’m using custom rules for fonts.conf, alias,conf, local.conf, misc.font and msfonts-rules.conf that were snatched using this script here: Ubuntu / Debian Script To Install Sharp Fonts ~ Web Upd8: Ubuntu / Linux blog
Of course, the script itself works only on Debian and Ubuntu, but it does no biggie, basically it gets microsoft fonts first and then snatches the rules from elsewhere. Those rules were made on BSD as far as i know, and they actually work on any distro. I need it, cause that’s how i get “XP fonts”. I hate anti-aliased fonts. Not only it turns it off everywhere… it substitutes some fonts so the browsers would pick the best fonts for the webpages. So yeah, same thing i applied to SUSE. And i think this is yet another thing that shouldn’t matter. Also, these rules for most part override whatever is specified in font settings on Gnome. Once again, i’m saying all this just to let you know how the things are set up here. Again, i don’t think that should cause any troubles. I think it’s yet another driver - hardware - compiz conflict. In normal (metacity only) mode the display is fine. If compiz is on - corrupted. So i really dunno what kinda details you want me to provide, i think that’s a bit more tricky than it seems. I can’t tell for sure, but probably i’d have the same thing even if i didn’t install no rules. Yet that could be monitor/driver issue, yes. Just in case let me show you my xorg.conf that works for this monitor of mine on every distro:

There are many apps that should allow you to disable the mic. I prefer to use pulse audio volume control (pavucontrol) which I think is installed by default in gnome. If not, install it. Launch it by typing ‘pavucontrol’.
Actually, i had this idea myself, but i just didn’t bother doing that, cause i thought that it probably wouldn’t work, just like everything else. But i’ll try though 
Thanks.
You should also be able to do this by launching ‘alsamixer’ and/or using ‘amixer’ (where the syntax for amixer is obscure, and you can read up on its syntax by typing ‘man amixer’ ).
I’ve tried that actually. Didn’t work. But that’s where i reduced it to the minimum possible. Still i could hear it. What i need is to turn off mic monitor COMPLETELY. And i didn’t find that.
use YaST Software Management to uninstall openJDK…i do not know how
you installed SUN Java, but i use YaST Software Management to install
mine and it works fine (with openJDK uninstalled) in 11.4
i guess if you cleanly removed the SUN you installed, and then used
YaST to install, it might work…but, i do not think java plays a part
in any “sound qlitch”…i think your bad actor might be Flash.
Well… i did it many ways, using Yast & repos or doing it manually by downloading rpm’s from official website and then assigning java plugin to browser-plugin directory using “ln -s” command. Plugin works perfectly, and “java -version” shows the one i installed correctly, it’s just the sound that gives me bad time. Again, I HAD THIS ON DEBIAN TOO, and no, that’s no flash related thing, trust me. I’ve done it quite a few times, and that’s something about Java and audio system, i dunno. Also, i prefer not to use openJDK at all, i have bad experience using that. On Debian its kinda ok with icedtea6 plugin. But yeah, “KINDA”. It would kick my CPU up to 100% after a little while and even if i close the applet it would still be 100% until i close the entire browser. With new and REAL java 7 it doesn’t happen. With sun java 6 i had exactly the same audio glitch as i’ve described having on SUSE. BUT… here’s the thing, for SUSE it doesn’t matter now which java to use, be it 6 or 7 - same thing. As for openjdk… it acts totally weird. It can either swallow bits of audio or even get stuck with every move of an applet with a delay of 2 seconds, like “move… move… move…”, dunno how else to describe. I use these websites to check how really good java works: Playforia - Free Online Games With Cool Avatars (here i usually test it on Pool game), Monopoly | Pogo.com <– and that game doesn’t work just for EVERYONE, try it, i bet one of you guys will experience some problems running it, i can feel it (don’t try running on Chrome, usually doesn’t work for anyone at all) Still, now both work perfectly well for me on Debian using:
java version “1.7.0_03”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_03-b04)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 22.1-b02, mixed mode)
See if you can be the same successful with openJDK 
And also, i just never had problems with flash, really. Not even on SUSE.
> 3) VLC player launches with quite a long delay
quantify “long delay” is that 2 seconds or 25?
For about 3 seconds maybe, but it seems to be longer than that, cause usually on any other system it just pops out right after you clicked on it, so common… that’s not a good thing for such a mega-distro. I mean of course i can’t blame the whole thing because of one app, but hey… when there’s a whole ■■■■■■■■ of such things that turns out to be quite annoying. And that’s only what i’ve discovered so far, but what else is lurking in the deeps of this allmighty OS? Joking.
THIS may be the most important thing i write: next time put only one
question in each thread, and give each thread a subject which will draw
in the ‘experts’ for THAT problem…
Well, sorry about that, it would just take a bit longer to put each of these probs in appropriate section… next time for sure, but for now it’s just too many of these problems for me to sort them out accurately. So yeah, it was my little desperate move here.
By the way guys, you still haven’t told me why i can’t save no passwords on SUSE, i mean, do i really have to type it everytime i wanna run YasT and on top of it it closes everytime the operation is finished just to give me some more of hard times?
Thank you everyone.
Anyways, i’d be glad to receive any help on the given above issues.
