   Hi:   
      
   Well, thanks for the yast2-tv tip - I was able to find the   
   yast2-tv-3.0.0-1.2.noarch.rpm package.   
      
   I have been reluctant to move to Leap because of this issue, for now I   
   have to dual boot, which is not nice.  I have a posting in the opensuse   
   hardware forum and will see what happens.   
      
   Thanks
