2 Setting Up Hardware Components

with YaST

YaST allows you to congure hardware items at installation time as well as on an

already-installed system. Congure audio hardware, printers or scanner support or

learn which hardware components are connected to your computer by using the

YaST Hardware Information module.

TIP: Graphics card, monitor, mouse and keyboard settings

Graphics card, monitor, mouse and keyboard can be congured with either KDE

or GNOME tools.

2.1 Hardware Information

Use the YaST hardware information module if you want to know more about your

hardware or if you need to nd out details like vendor and model of a certain piece

of hardware to be able to properly congure it.

1 Start YaST and click Hardware > Hardware Information. Hardware probing

starts immediately and it will take some time until you see the hardware in-

formation tree in a separate window.

2 In the hardware information tree recursively click on the entries to expand

the information about a specic device.

3 Click Save to File... to save the output to a le.

4 Click Close to leave the hardware information overview.

2.2 Setting Up Sound Cards

YaST detects most sound cards automatically and congures them with the appropri-

ate values. If you want to change the default settings, or need to set up a sound card

that could not be congured automatically, use the YaST sound module. There, you

can also set up additional sound cards or switch their order.

To start the sound module, start YaST and click Hardware > Sound. Alternatively,

start the Sound Conguration dialog directly by running yast2 sound & as user root

from a command line.
