Tip
To change your keyboard type after you have installed Red Hat Linux, as root
use the /usr/sbin/kbdconfig command. Alternatively, you can type
setup at the root prompt.
To become root, type su - at the shell prompt in a terminal window and
then press
[Enter]. Then, enter the root password and press [Enter].
3.5 Mouse Configuration
Choose the correct mouse type for your system. If you cannot find an exact match, choose a mouse
type that you are sure is compatible with your system (see Figure 3–3, Mouse Configuration).
To determine your mouse’s interface, follow the mouse cable back to where it plugs into your system.
If the connector at the end of the mouse cable plugs into a rectangular connector, you have a serial
mouse; if the connector is round, you have a PS/2 mouse.
If you cannot find a mouse that you are sure is compatible with your system, select one of the
Generic
entries, based on your mouse’s number of buttons, and its interface.
