Drivers and stuff

[mringer]

Here's the deal, I'm about to install suse linux on a Dell CPiA Does any one know where I can find the following drivers?

NeoMagic 256ZX Video
Ess audio with Yamaha wavetable,
DVD (I'm guessing DeCSS but I doubt I will be able to find it)
And the biggie, a Aironet 4800 Wireless
card.

If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!!

You should check SuSE's website under the hardware compatability list to see if your system's components have built in drivers under SuSE. If not your vid card should work fine with Xfree86,and there sould be a kernel module for your sound card. As for the dvd drive you wont be able to watch movies under Linux as of yet be it should work fine otherwise. Don't know about the wireless PC-card. You might also could contact Dell. They sell systems with Red Hat preinstalled so they might be able to point you in the right direction albeit at a cost I'm sure, but that is kind of a last resort.
It should work fine without any extra work un your part. ANd if SuSE doesn't setup your devices when you first install use their YAST to be sure that your distro is up to date and has any late breaking drivers of fixes that would help your system out.

Go here: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html and check out the Hardware-HOWTO for a pretty good list of supported devices. The Sound-HOWTO should also help. I think you have to use the ALSA drivers for the Yamaha chip. For your vid card, check out xfree86.org. It will depend on which version of X you are going to run.
