• DEVICE= value , where value is the device (usually a serial port) that handles infrared
connections.
• DONGLE=
value , where value specifies the type of dongle being used for infrared com-
munication. This setting exists for people who use serial dongles rather than real infrared ports. A
dongle is a device that is attached to a traditional serial port to communicate via infrared. This line
is commented out by default because notebooks with real infrared ports are far more common than
computers with add-on dongles.
• DISCOVERY=
value , where value is one of the following boolean values:d
• yes — Starts irattach in discovery mode, meaning it actively checks for other infrared de-
vices. This needs to be turned on for the machine to be actively looking for an infrared connection
(meaning the peer that does not initiate the connection).
• no — Does not start irattach in discovery mode.
3.3.1.18. /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
The /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file controls the behavior of the keyboard. The following values
may be used:
• KEYBOARDTYPE=sun|pc, which is used on SPARCs only. sun means a Sun keyboard is attached
on /dev/kbd, and pc means a PS/2 keyboard connected to a PS/2 port.
• KEYTABLE=
file , where file is the name of a keytable file.
For example: KEYTABLE="us". The files that can be used as keytables start in
/usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386 and branch into different keyboard layouts from there, all
labeled file .kmap.gz. The first file found beneath /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386that
matches the KEYTABLE setting is used.
3.3.1.19. /etc/sysconfig/kudzu
The /etc/sysconfig/kuzdu allows you to specify a safe probe of your system’s hardware by
kudzu at boot time. A safe probe is one that disables serial port probing.
• SAFE= value , where value is one of the following:
• yes — kuzdu does a safe probe.
• no — kuzdu does a normal probe.
3.3.1.20. /etc/sysconfig/mouse
The /etc/sysconfig/mouse file is used to specify information about the available mouse. The
following values may be used:
• FULLNAME=
value , where value refers to the full name of the kind of mouse being used.
• MOUSETYPE= value , where value is one of the following:
• microsoft — A Microsoft™ mouse.
• mouseman — A MouseMan™ mouse.
