Intel 915 gm graphics card 32 bit color and tocuhpad fix

Hey!
I am a perfect noobie, I have my laptop having intel 915gm graphics integrated… Now it used to work in 32 bits with windows, but for some reason I cannot switch to 32 bit in opensuse 11.2, it shows only 16 bits! does anyone has a fix for it? Pl. give a step by step instructions, I am just a starter…

Also my laptop’s touch pad pointer is sort of very sticky in opensuse 11.2 and it doesn’t work that good as in windows, in windows the driver intalled is for alps pointing device, pl. there must be some solution to it, i got frustrated to that extent, that i bought a usb mouse, but still i want to use it, if i can…I did try to play with yast controller for mouse, but still, no good:(

sorry its nt 11.2, its opensuse 11.1
