I installed SuSE Linux From The digit DVD it installed fine.

When i went to hardware it detected my ati radeon 9800 pro as a R350 and said it had no 3D Acceleration

I have a d-link modem which it did not detect, it says there is a conextant modem in my comp

Regarding first problem, for 3d acceleration, you need the ATi linux drivers, get it from their site. As for the modem, the driver should be on the cd that came with it, else get it from www.linuxant.com

use Partition Magic 8 to recover the disk space occupied by Linux partitions.

or if you use Windows XP, you can use the Disk Management to recover the disk space.

Yes, generally we google it, though I knew about www.linuxant.com as I own the same modem ... :)

Many people do infact.

Sorry the point is not clear here. Did the distro said that you have conextant?? Did it get detected? If the problem is not with the drivers then try selecting tty s0 instead of tty modem. Because usually you connect the modem through com1. If its the problem of drivers then install new drivers (not an easy task to get it running in that case)
