4.15. Miscellaneous hardware and system components
	Chapter 4. Configuration and Installation Options

In addition to the core component configuration, like network authentication and security, AutoYaST2 offers a wide range of hardware and system configuration which is available by default on any system installed manually and in an interactive way. For example, it is possible to configure printers, sound devices, TV cards and any other hardware components which have a module within YaST2.

Any new configuration options that will be added to YaST2 will be automatically available as an auto-installation resource.

4.15.1. Printer

Although Printer configuration, like other configurations can be done manually, it is recommended to use the Configuration System to create such a configuration because of the complexity and the range of options offered by such modules.

Using the configuration system will guarantee that the options provided are consistent. The following is an example of a configuration section which was created using the configuration system.

Example 4.38. Printer configuration

....
    <printer>
      <default>lp</default>
      <printcap config:type="list">
        <printcap_entry>
          <cups-state>void</cups-state>
          <ff config:type="boolean">true</ff>
          <info></info>
          <location></location>
          <lprng-state>changed</lprng-state>
          <name>lp</name>
          <options>
            <job-sheets>none,none</job-sheets>
          </options>
          <raw config:type="boolean">true</raw>
          <type>yast2</type>
          <uri>parallel:/dev/lp0</uri>
        </printcap_entry>
      </printcap>
    </printer>
....

4.15.2. Sound devices

An example of sound configuration created using the configuration system is shown below.

Example 4.39. Sound configuration

....
    <sound>
      <autoinstall config:type="boolean">true</autoinstall>
      <modules_conf config:type="list">
        <module_conf>
          <alias>snd-card-0</alias>
          <model>M5451, ALI</model>
          <module>snd-ali5451</module>
          <options>
            <snd_enable>1</snd_enable>
            <snd_index>0</snd_index>
            <snd_pcm_channels>32</snd_pcm_channels>
          </options>         
        </module_conf>
      </modules_conf>
      <volume_settings config:type="list">
        <listentry>
          <Master config:type="integer">75</Master>
        </listentry>
      </volume_settings>
    </sound>
