2.4.4 Hard Disk Controller
Normally YaST configures the hard disk controller of your system during
the installation. If you add controllers, integrate these into the system with
this YaST module. You can also modify the existing configuration, but this
is generally not necessary.
The dialog presents a list of detected hard disk controllers and enables as-
signment of the suitable kernel module with specific parameters. Use ‘Test
Loading of Module’ to check if the current settings work before they are
saved permanently in the system.
Caution
Configuration of the Hard Disk Controller
It is advised to test the setting before making it permanent in the
system. Incorrect settings can prevent the system from booting.
Caution
2.4.5 Graphics Card and Monitor (SaX2)
Note
S/390, zSeries: Configuring the Graphical User Interface
IBM S/390 and zSeries do not have any input and output devices
supported by XFree. Therefore, none of the configuration proce-
dures described in this section apply. More information relevant
for IBM S/390 and zSeries can be found in Section 2.5 on page 89.
Note
The graphical user interface, or X server, handles the communication be-
tween hardware and software. Desktops, like KDE and GNOME, and the
wide variety of window managers use the X server for interaction with the
user.
The graphical user interface is initially configured during installation. To
change the settings afterwards, run this YaST module. In the configuration
dialog, choose between ‘Text Mode Only’ and the graphical user interface.
The current settings are saved and you can reset to them at any time. The
current values are displayed and offered for modification: the screen res-
olution, the color depth, the refresh rate, and the vendor and type of your
monitor, if autodetected.
