LG S1 EXPRESS DUAL

English Hardware
1

Hello,I’m a first timer with linux and now I’m thinking that maybe trying it out on the laptop wasn’t such a good idea…

The laptop is an LG S1 EXPRESS DUAL
Intel core duo T2500 2Ghz
ATI x1600
1Gb RAM
realtek audio (don’t know exactly which model)
and a DVD recorded suposedly called super multi DVD drive or something alike.

The problem is that neither the sound or the DVD drive work, and I don’t know exactly why.

I was wondering if anyone has managed to get suse 11 working
on this model or any similar lg ones, and if they could lend me a hand.

Thank you

It may be possible to get sound working … but I am puzzling over your Linux version.

Is that openSUSE-11.0 ? or is it SLED-11 or SLES-11 ?

There is a guide here for openSUSE (not for SLED/SLES, although some of that might help): SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE

Note the criteria for functioning sound sound be the speaker test in that guide, where only 1 of those 3 tests need to function to prove your sound functions.
