Yes, SLED 11 was within the laptop I bought. It’s hp ProBook 4530s.  
However, I’m not sure if all the patches are installed. Is there a way  
to check it out?

In order to ensure you have the latest patches, go to YaST-\>Online  
Update, and follow the process.

Also, if you have an ATI card, please read carefully this thread :

There is a known issue with ATI driver when you update your system.  
Just download the appropriate driver (don’t install anything) and if  
there is an issue while rebooting, just follow steps 2 to 4. Hopefully  
you won’t encounter such issue (it is may already fixed, I will contact  
the dedicated SuSE team on Monday)

I guess I have the latest patches, Online Update shows nothing new.  
There hasn’t been a problem with ATI drivers yet, and I have already  
done the Online Update so it’s probably been solved. Still, I have no  
idea what to do about sound. Maybe I need some codecs? How to check  
which ones I’ve got?
