Please be a little more specific about the problems that you are having.

In terms of the modem. I hate to say, it will not work in Linux. This, I believe, is a softmodem and is designed to work in Windows only.

Many have tried and Motorola no longer has drivers for Linux. There linux driver page is gone.

Do a search on Google linux Motorola speakerphone and you will hit a bunch of links.

Anybody else have a solution? Maybe someone can prove me wrong.

Also, look at the following for more information;

Linux says I dodn't have a 3d card!! Why?

[danleff]

Because the 3D drivers probably are not in the stock kernel. The newer ATI cards are a pain and the kernels, except for the latest do not have 3D acceleration enabled.

Yea, this is why it's good to investigate the distro that you are planning to use to see if your hardware is supported.

To give you some examples;

In your case, the card is supported, but some work needs to be done to enable 3D.

Perhaps we have someone who has done this or has a simple solution in SuSe.

To make you feel better, or worse, I read some posts where people are also having issues with your modem in Windows XP.
