YaST — Conﬁguration

Note

DMA (direct memory access) means that your data can be trans-

ferred directly to the RAM, bypassing the processor control.

Note

2.4.8 Mouse

Conﬁgure your mouse with this YaST module. As the procedure for the

selection of the mouse was already explained for installation, refer to Sec-

tion 1.7.3 on page 18.

2.4.9 Scanner

If your scanner is connected and switched on, it should be detected auto-

matically when this YaST module is started. In this case, the dialog for the

installation of the scanner appears. If no scanner is detected, the manual

conﬁguration dialog appears. If you have already installed one or several

scanners, a list of existing scanners that can be modiﬁed or deleted is dis-

played. Press ‘Add’ to conﬁgure a new device.

Next, an installation is performed with default settings. If the installation

is successful, a corresponding message appears. Now, test your scanner by

inserting a document and clicking ‘Test’.

Scanner Not Detected

Only supported scanners can be autodetected. Scanners connected to an-

other network host cannot be detected. The manual conﬁguration distin-

guishes three types of scanners: USB scanners, SCSI scanners, and network

scanners.

USB Scanner Specify the vendor and model. YaST then attempts to load

USB modules. If your scanner is very new, the modules may not be

loaded automatically. In this case, continue automatically to a dialog

in which to load the USB module manually. Refer to the YaST help

text for more information.

SCSI Scanner Specify the device (such as /dev/sg0). SCSI scanners

should not be connected or disconnected when the the system is run-

ning. Shut the system down ﬁrst.
