ok…first, not every keyboard has contrast up and down buttons…which
means that Linux will not automatically know what to do with them…and,
in fact you have already proven that do not work the way you expected
them to…
there are ways to assign different functions to each key on your
keyboard…i don’t know how, but i do know it is quite an involved and
multi-step operation, for EACH key…
i remember seeing a rather long article on how to do it in a Linux
magazine 2 or 3 years ago…but, i find that mag easily…maybe try
searching the SUSE site or google on terms kinda like
linux key mapping assignment
or, maybe someone who knows how will come along and help you…

if you click on the “My Computer” on your desktop, find the “Display

also info on the driver…
most folks with nVidia cards elect to install the nvidia drivers…there
are several posts around here to help you out on installing those…and,
i think also plenty of help and guidance already helping with ATI cards
and drivers…
but, sorry i don’t have a list of pointers for you…it is just a matter
of adding the right repository and then use YaST…
oh, here…this will help, be sure and read all the links:
