I don't run a script, suse 9.2 does it for you.
But when you I type lsmod I see all the nice modules like
budget, saa7146,dvb_core,stv00299 and so on.
the only thing is, that I don't get a picture if I haven't started windows 
before.
When I type dmesg I got the answer "is n".

I heared about a file that I must copy from the windows driver called 
sc_main.mc what about this file, I think yast renamed it to 
something like *.fw
