Hi there.
Lateley I’ve been working with one of the laptops of my company and they run -of course- OpenSuse. It seems like there is no natural support for plug&play with the newest beamers around.
Is there some program that’s missing in order to be able to plug the cable and instantly be able to perform something spacy? 
what is a “beamer”?
are you sure the company laptop runs openSUSE, or is it SUSE Linux
Enterprise Desktop (aka: SLED) ??
they look the same (i guess, i’ve never actually seen on running), but
they are NOT (exactly) the same!
there is an easy way to tell what you are running:
open a terminal, type:
cat /etc/SuSE-release
and the result will it…

Beamer = Projector. The company laptops run the Operating System I mentioned before.
projectors do work with openSUSE, just connect to the external vga connector,if the laptop has one. have a squint at this Laptops and external VGA - openSUSE BTW, i used one for a presentation
