Abstract
YaST allows you to configure hardware items at installation time as well as in the installed system. Configure additional graphics cards and monitors, adjust mouse and keyboard settings and configure sound hardware. If you need printer or scanner support, use the appropriate YaST modules to configure these hardware items. Learn which hardware components are connected to your computer by using the YaST Hardware Information module.
Use YaST, if you want to know more about your hardware or if you need
to find out details like vendor and model of a certain hardware to be able
to properly configure it. Here and in the following sections we assume that
you already started YaST (for example, by pressing Alt+F2 and entering
yast2
followed by the root password, because YaST needs
system administrator permissions to change the system files):
In YaST click
