NAME

lcfg-hardware - LCFG hardware component

DESCRIPTION

The object configures hardware. It is also expected, eventually, to twiddle hardware parameters for things like disks. It can (primitively) configure PNP devices such as sound cards, etc.

chmoddevices

A list of chmod commands to set protection on device files.

chmoddevices_entry

The chmod command for tag entry.

pnpdevices

A list of PNP boards to be configured at boot time. The configuration files for each PNP board live in /etc/obj/conf/pnp.

modlist

A list of kernel module rules to be added to the /etc/modules.conf file.

mod_tag

The kernel module rule associated with tag.

permmodules

A list of modules to be installed at boot time. Options for the module loader can be specified by use of a modopt_module resource. The module name for this module can be overriden by use of a modname_module resource - this is useful when the module file lives in a non standard location. The modloader_module resource specifies which loader to use.

modopt_module

Module loader options for module module

modname_module

This resource can be used to override the name of the module given to the module loader.

modloader_module

Specifies which module loader to use for this module. Defaults to /sbin/insmod.

devices

A list of tags specifying device aliases to be created in /dev.

devalias_tag

The alias to be created for the specified device tag. If this resource is missing, it defaults to the same as the tag.

dev_tag

The name of the device file for the specified device tag.

apm_script

The name of a script to be called when the resume and suspend methods are invoked. The particular method used is passed as an argument to this script. This is useful for esoteric laptops that aren't satisfied by the following simple hacks.

apm_vt

If this resource is set, the suspend method will change to VT1 (first virtual terminal) prior to the machine being suspended. The resume method will change to the virtual terminal specified by this resource. This resource has no effect if the apm_script resource is set.

apm_netrestart

If set to "yes", the network is restarted by the resume method. This resource has no effect if the apm_script resource is set.

tpreset

If set to "yes", a Synaptics Trackpoint or Touchpad will be reset.

videobusmaster

If set to "yes", the PCI or AGP card with the video card will be configured to be a bus master (using setpci)

PLATFORMS

Fedora3, Fedora5, Fedora6, Scientific5
