If the monitor is not detected, select your model from the list provided. If you
have an unknown model, enter the settings by hand or have the data loaded
from a “driver disk” provided with your monitor. Consult the documentation
for your monitor.
Set up the required screen resolution and a color depth of 16 bpp. Check the
settings by choosing ‘Test’ and make adjustments if necessary.
Tip
In rare cases, it may be necessary to configure the X server “by hand.”
To do this, run the program SaX at a later time.
Tip
The default window manager on the Adminhost is KDE2.
Configuring the Network with YaST2
Have the following data on hand when configuring the network: IP address,
network mask, and default gateway. If you are managing a DHCP server,
you can also configure the Adminhost as a DHCP client. However, you must
assign a static IP address to the Adminhost.
Select the network card from those detected by the hardware recognition. En-
ter the IP address and network mask. Enter all the required information if a
name server already exists, as shown in Figure 2.5 on page 24.
Manual Network Configuration
Manual configuration of the network software is a last resort. We recommend
using YaST, but YaST cannot cover all aspects of network configuration, which
requires, in some cases, a bit of manual fine-tuning.
