YaST — Configuration
If you have just installed a new graphics card, a small dialog appears ask-
ing whether to activate 3D acceleration for your graphics card. Click ‘Edit’.
SaX2, the configuration tool for the input and display devices, starts in a
separate window. This window is shown in Figure 2.9.
Figure 2.9: The Main Window of SaX2
In the left navigation bar, there are four main items: ‘Display’, ‘Input de-
vices’, ‘Multihead’, and ‘AccessX’. Configure your monitor, graphics card,
color depth, resolution, and the position and size of the screen under ‘Dis-
play’. The keyboard, mouse, touchscreen monitor, and graphics tablet can
be configured under ‘Input devices’. Use ‘Multihead’ to configure multiple
screens (see Section 2.4.5 on page 80). ‘AccessX’ is a useful tool for control-
ling the mouse pointer with the number pad.
Select your monitor and graphics card. Usually, the monitor and graph-
ics card are autodetected by the system. In this case, no manual settings
are required. If your monitor is not autodetected, automatically proceed
to the monitor selection dialog. Select your monitor from the extensive list
of vendors and devices or manually enter the monitor values specified in
the monitor manual. Alternatively, select one of the preconfigured VESA
modes.
