Actually I pasted the whole xviddetect output just to indicate that
this function seems to have found every PCI and AGP device plugged in.
The line "12eb0001|i386|Aureal Semiconductor|Vortex 1" does align
with the information extracted out of the SuSe DB, but as I said,
http://linux.aureal.com/ which would help me seems to be dead.
Which way should I go?

How kann I retrieve the name of this package? Actually, this question
is quite near to the one whic I posted parallel "command "tree" and
"depmode" returnes in "unknowm" + verifing packages" in this list.
