# D.1. `README.ruby_init` explains how to configure and use the service.

    well,
    have to be written :-)

    You'll need to install the following scripts  :
    (and don't forget to make them executable :-) with chmod a+x [filename] )
    /etc/hotplug/input.agent
    /etc/hotplug/input.rc
    /etc/init.d/ruby_init

    and the configuration file:
    /etc/sysconfig/ruby.conf

    edit the configuration file to adjust it to your system configuration

    start the service and check if everything is done as requested and configured
    /etc/init.d/ruby_init start

    if everything is OK activate the service by running "chkconfig --add ruby_init" .

    "chkconfig --list ruby_init" will tell you in which runlevels the service is active

    root@svetljo SRPMS]# chkconfig --list ruby_init
    ruby_init       0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

    you can deactivate it by running "chkconfig --del ruby_init"

    The input configuration uses the same syntax
    as kbd.conf, mouse.conf, event.conf as explained
    in the section about hotplug with input agent.

    The other configurable options are:

    HACK_VIDEO_ENABLE=no

    If set to "yes", turns on at boot the hackvideo feature of the Backstreet Ruby kernel.
    In case XFree PrefBusID is used set to "no"

    HOTPLUG_RC_input=yes

    If set to "yes", runs /etc/hotplug/input.rc to configure input devices which were activated
    by the kernel before hotplug was available (drivers statically linked in the kernel).
    Generaly needed by all systems unless you have all input drivers configured as loadable modules
    and load the drivers after hotplug is accessible to the kernel.

    AUTO_DM=no
    AUTO_XFree=no

    No description yet. Or may be ...
    enables/disables the features explained in sections
    "7.3. 1st X server configuration file" and "7.4. Number X servers started by Display managers"
    you don't need to modify your init scripts if you use the ruby_init service and enable them
    in ruby.conf.

    LOAD_MODULES=yes

    if set to "yes" loads certain input device drivers in case a ruby kernel is running.

    #
    # input modules configuration
    #
    # module arguments

    The list of modules which should be loaded in case ruby kernel is running and
    LOAD_MODULES is set to "yes".
    In the example file are listed all important input drivers (keyboards & mice).
    If you have some of them compiled in the kernel, you may disable the loading
    of the corresponding drivers by commenting them out.

    the ext-status argument can give you detailed information about the current
    configuration, and valuable information in case you are in trouble.
