[opensuse] Gateway MX6454 Laptop setup issues

Hello everyone. I think I have found the most uncompatable laptop for
SuSE 10.1. This is one sweet laptop but I have a few problems. I am
running the 64 bit version of OpenSuSE 10.1. The laptop has the
following specs:
Blade-K8F GW UMA Motherboard w/ R5485M and 1394.
ATI RS485m chipset (Gateway says it is Radeon Xpress 1150)
SigmaTel 9250 Sound
SI3080 modem
Broadcom 4311E wireless G
GemTek WMIB-184GW ethernet

Now the boring part is done this is my problem. The wireless just does
not work. I will work with that latter since I have a netgear PCMCIA
card that is working.
The ethernet shows up as a Gateway and works. Thats fine.

Video does not get 3d even though I have followed the instructions to
make www2.ati.com/suse as a repo and installed the ati drivers.

That is a lesser problem as to I have no sound. I have downloaded
packmans drivers for version 13 of ALSA and it still will not work. It
detects the sound as ATI and tries to install intel driver. It fails
with message stating that irq could be off when trying with YAST.

The modem is not even detected but that is not used. If I can get it
working it would be neat but that is just icing on the cake.

Anyone able to get this sound working on these types of Gateway?
