you need a little more patience - everything is fixable in Linux without
a reinstall - not so with Windows where when things get funky, you can't
just edit things with a text editor.

I could tell you how to fix it if you were on a redhat/fedora system but
not SuSE, which I know has yast but that is for GUI which of course is
your issue.

As for system detecting hardware, it should, it would have on
redhat/fedora system.

Hang on, there are some on this list with SuSE experience or you could
for expedience, try a SuSE list.
