I am not sure if my question was completely understood (or I am
unfamiliar enough to not understand a good answer).
I just used the USB keyboard and mouse with a printer as an example.
Lets say I want the scanner and a printer. Lets say the scanner is SCSI
and the printer is USB. So I would need to add the following to the
workstation section in lts.conf:
MODULE_01 = usb-ohci
MODULE_02 = printer
MODULE_03 = mousedev
MODULE_04 = usbmouse
MODULE_01 = sym53c416
MODULE_02 = sgi
Now my question is would the above be correct, or should the MODULE for
the SCSI card start at MODULE_05 - 06? Example below:
MODULE_01 = usb-ohci
MODULE_02 = printer
MODULE_03 = mousedev
MODULE_04 = usbmouse
MODULE_05 = sym53c416
MODULE_06 = sgi
I guess my question isn't really pertaining to how to get specific
devices to work, just theoretically if I had to load more than one
device per client what would the proper syntax be. Is LTSP smart enough
to look at each instance of MODULE_01 as a new device and just know that
every module specifice in sequence thereafter is just settings
pertaining to the MODULE_01?
I hope this is more clear.
Thanks,
