Hi, everybody SUSE community!
I am trying to work under suse64 11.1.
My HD 4550 driver x64 does not work probebly, always slowly redraw screen, it does after updates on ATI Catalist driver 9.1(?).
There are not possibility to view/play mp3/mp4 files & others (i do not understand which, but i saw/played it under windows without problems).
I do understand that many peaple use another systems without problem, why there are such here?
I can not read and search solution of problems in my mother language. It’s so very pity :(.
So, I have following problems:
ATI HD 4550 x64 does not work
WLan (intel i2200) x32 (on notebook) has not been installed and does not work.
Multimedia x64 & x32 do not work (gnome on desktop and kde4.1 on notebook).
What can I fix the problems?
I have tryed to use SUSE 2 years ago, just after first problems simply remove it and forget about it. Is it the same situation with SUSE? The time of SUSE is not coming?
I will so very kind of you, who can help me.
Thanks & regards,

I see you have both videolan and packman repositories enabled.
caf4926 sent you to this guide:Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide - openSUSE Forums
where it clearly states:
For what ever reason you did not follow that, and hence IMHO there is a good possibility that is MOST likely caused your problem. Caf4926 is pretty good at this, and when he recommends an approach, if you decide to deviate from it, IMHO it is a good idea to first ask if there may be some complications.
If my assessment is correct (that you have inappropriately left videolan in your repos, and hence mostly likely inappropriately mixed videolan and packman packaged multimedia applications) then this is going to be a bit painful to fix.
Your best bet now may be to identify the offending videolan applications, per RedDwarf’s guide:Check your multimedia problem in ten steps - openSUSE Forums

Caf is right. The phenomena described typically arise when mixing packages from packman en videolan.
Fixing it is not too painful:
Now select the repo view and tick the Packman repo.
By now all packages should be the Packman versions, and audio and video trouble should be solved.

Many thanks for the help.
After some updates suse was killed :(. And I have installed again SUSE from DVD, then multimedia from your link.
Now i can see avi-files per VLC, SMPlayer, xine, and can not in Totem.
I have not installed AMD drivers, but window redrawing is OK.
If I install ATI drivers, do I get the slowly-redrawing (by scrolling or window moving) problem again?
How can I save this state of system, that I try to load ATI drivers?

Please post result of this:
rpm -q libavcodec52
and then
zypper lr -d
if it says not installed, do this from a su terminal
zypper in libavcodec52
we’ll deal with the rest later

I’ve just installed ATI drivers from ATI - openSUSE , and have got the old problem again: slow scroll in window & redraw by window move.
I have both “X11/xorg.conf” before & after ATI driver installation.
What can/should I change there that the problem to fix?

So do I, just as in how_to said.
ATI driver works OK, except very slow window redraw, match more slowly when was it before ATI installation.

I’m not sure, I don’t use ATI.
ATI here: ATI Catalyst™ Proprietary Display Driver
Look up the instructions. You need to remove or disable the current ATI repo if you do a manual install.
