config VT
	bool "Virtual terminal" if EMBEDDED
	depends on !S390
	select INPUT
	default y if !VIOCONS
	---help---
	  If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
	  display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
	  can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
	  one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
	  virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
	  one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
	  an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
	  is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.

	  The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
	  properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
	  man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
	  character sequences that can be used to change those properties
	  directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
	  the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
	  with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.

	  You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
	  of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
	  embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
	  memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
	  or network connection.

	  If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new
	  shiny Linux system :-)

config CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS
	depends on VT
	default y
	bool "Enable character translations in console" if EMBEDDED
	---help---
	  This enables support for font mapping and Unicode translation
	  on virtual consoles.

config VT_CONSOLE
	bool "Support for console on virtual terminal" if EMBEDDED
	depends on VT
	default y
	---help---
	  The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
	  and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
	  answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
	  a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
	  common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
	  the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
	  you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).

	  If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
	  terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
	  that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
	  would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
	  bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
	  loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)

	  If unsure, say Y.

config HW_CONSOLE
	bool
	depends on VT && !S390 && !UML
	default y

config VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING
       bool "Support for binding and unbinding console drivers"
       depends on HW_CONSOLE
       default n
       ---help---
         The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical
         terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one
         console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console
         drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than
         1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to
         select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the
         virtual terminals.

	 See <file:Documentation/console/console.txt> for more
	 information. For framebuffer console users, please refer to
	 <file:Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt>.

config DEVKMEM
	bool "/dev/kmem virtual device support"
	default y
	help
	  Say Y here if you want to support the /dev/kmem device. The
	  /dev/kmem device is rarely used, but can be used for certain
	  kind of kernel debugging operations.
	  When in doubt, say "N".

config SERIAL_NONSTANDARD
	bool "Non-standard serial port support"
	depends on HAS_IOMEM
	---help---
	  Say Y here if you have any non-standard serial boards -- boards
	  which aren't supported using the standard "dumb" serial driver.
	  This includes intelligent serial boards such as Cyclades,
	  Digiboards, etc. These are usually used for systems that need many
	  serial ports because they serve many terminals or dial-in
	  connections.

	  Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
	  kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
	  the questions about non-standard serial boards.

	  Most people can say N here.

config COMPUTONE
	tristate "Computone IntelliPort Plus serial support"
	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && (ISA || EISA || PCI)
	---help---
	  This driver supports the entire family of Intelliport II/Plus
	  controllers with the exception of the MicroChannel controllers and
	  products previous to the Intelliport II. These are multiport cards,
	  which give you many serial ports. You would need something like this
	  to connect more than two modems to your Linux box, for instance in
	  order to become a dial-in server. If you have a card like that, say
	  Y here and read <file:Documentation/computone.txt>.

	  To compile this driver as module, choose M here: the
	  module will be called ip2.

config ROCKETPORT
	tristate "Comtrol RocketPort support"
	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && (ISA || EISA || PCI)
	help
	  This driver supports Comtrol RocketPort and RocketModem PCI boards.   
          These boards provide 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 high-speed serial ports or
          modems.  For information about the RocketPort/RocketModem  boards
          and this driver read <file:Documentation/rocket.txt>.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
	  module will be called rocket.

	  If you want to compile this driver into the kernel, say Y here.  If
          you don't have a Comtrol RocketPort/RocketModem card installed, say N.

config CYCLADES
	tristate "Cyclades async mux support"
	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && (PCI || ISA)
	select FW_LOADER
	---help---
	  This driver supports Cyclades Z and Y multiserial boards.
	  You would need something like this to connect more than two modems to
	  your Linux box, for instance in order to become a dial-in server.

	  For information about the Cyclades-Z card, read
	  <file:Documentation/README.cycladesZ>.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
	  module will be called cyclades.

	  If you haven't heard about it, it's safe to say N.

config CYZ_INTR
	bool "Cyclades-Z interrupt mode operation (EXPERIMENTAL)"
	depends on EXPERIMENTAL && CYCLADES
	help
	  The Cyclades-Z family of multiport cards allows 2 (two) driver op
	  modes: polling and interrupt. In polling mode, the driver will check
	  the status of the Cyclades-Z ports every certain amount of time
	  (which is called polling cycle and is configurable). In interrupt
	  mode, it will use an interrupt line (IRQ) in order to check the
	  status of the Cyclades-Z ports. The default op mode is polling. If
	  unsure, say N.

config DIGIEPCA
	tristate "Digiboard Intelligent Async Support"
	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && (ISA || EISA || PCI)
	---help---
	  This is a driver for Digi International's Xx, Xeve, and Xem series
	  of cards which provide multiple serial ports. You would need
	  something like this to connect more than two modems to your Linux
	  box, for instance in order to become a dial-in server. This driver
	  supports the original PC (ISA) boards as well as PCI, and EISA. If
	  you have a card like this, say Y here and read the file
	  <file:Documentation/digiepca.txt>.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
	  module will be called epca.

config ESPSERIAL
	tristate "Hayes ESP serial port support"
	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && ISA && ISA_DMA_API
	help
	  This is a driver which supports Hayes ESP serial ports.  Both single
	  port cards and multiport cards are supported.  Make sure to read
	  <file:Documentation/hayes-esp.txt>.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
	  module will be called esp.

	  If unsure, say N.

config MOXA_INTELLIO
	tristate "Moxa Intellio support"
	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && (ISA || EISA || PCI)
	select FW_LOADER
	help
	  Say Y here if you have a Moxa Intellio multiport serial card.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
	  module will be called moxa.

config MOXA_SMARTIO
	tristate "Moxa SmartIO support v. 2.0"
	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && (PCI || EISA || ISA)
	help
	  Say Y here if you have a Moxa SmartIO multiport serial card and/or
	  want to help develop a new version of this driver.

	  This is upgraded (1.9.1) driver from original Moxa drivers with
	  changes finally resulting in PCI probing.

	  This driver can also be built as a module. The module will be called
	  mxser. If you want to do that, say M here.

config ISI
	tristate "Multi-Tech multiport card support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && PCI
	select FW_LOADER
	help
	  This is a driver for the Multi-Tech cards which provide several
	  serial ports.  The driver is experimental and can currently only be
	  built as a module. The module will be called isicom.
	  If you want to do that, choose M here.

config SYNCLINK
	tristate "Microgate SyncLink card support"
	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && PCI && ISA_DMA_API
	help
	  Provides support for the SyncLink ISA and PCI multiprotocol serial
	  adapters. These adapters support asynchronous and HDLC bit
	  synchronous communication up to 10Mbps (PCI adapter).

	  This driver can only be built as a module ( = code which can be
	  inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).

config RISCOM8
	tristate "SDL RISCom/8 card support"
	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD
	help
	  This is a driver for the SDL Communications RISCom/8 multiport card,
	  which gives you many serial ports. You would need something like
	  this to connect more than two modems to your Linux box, for instance
	  in order to become a dial-in server. If you have a card like that,
	  say Y here and read the file <file:Documentation/riscom8.txt>.

	  Also it's possible to say M here and compile this driver as kernel
	  loadable module; the module will be called riscom8.

config SPECIALIX

	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD
	help
	  This is a driver for the Specialix RIO, a smart serial card which
	  drives an outboard box that can support up to 128 ports.  Product
	  information is at <http://www.perle.com/support/documentation.html#multiport>.
	  There are both ISA and PCI versions.

config RIO_OLDPCI
	bool "Support really old RIO/PCI cards"
	depends on RIO
	help
	  Older RIO PCI cards need some initialization-time configuration to
	  determine the IRQ and some control addresses.  If you have a RIO and
	  this doesn't seem to work, try setting this to Y.

config STALDRV
	bool "Stallion multiport serial support"
	depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD
	help
	  Stallion cards give you many serial ports.  You would need something
	  like this to connect more than two modems to your Linux box, for
	  instance in order to become a dial-in server.  If you say Y here,
	  you will be asked for your specific card model in the next
	  questions.  Make sure to read <file:Documentation/stallion.txt> in
	  this case.  If you have never heard about all this, it's safe to

config UNIX98_PTYS
	bool "Unix98 PTY support" if EMBEDDED
	default y
	---help---
	  A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
	  halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
	  a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
	  read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
	  terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
	  and xterms.

	  Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
	  masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
	  has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
	  however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
	  pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
	  terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
	  terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
	  traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.

	  All modern Linux systems use the Unix98 ptys.  Say Y unless
	  you're on an embedded system and want to conserve memory.

config LEGACY_PTYS
	bool "Legacy (BSD) PTY support"
	default y
	---help---
	  A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two

	  read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
	  terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
	  and xterms.

	  Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx
	  for masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo
	  terminals. This scheme has a number of problems, including
	  security.  This option enables these legacy devices; on most
	  systems, it is safe to say N.


config LEGACY_PTY_COUNT

	help
	  If you say Y here, you will get support for a character device
	  interface into the One Time Programmable memory pages that are
	  stored on the Blackfin processor.  This will not get you access
	  to the secure memory pages however.  You will need to write your
	  own secure code and reader for that.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
	  will be called bfin-otp.

	  If unsure, it is safe to say Y.

config BFIN_OTP_WRITE_ENABLE
	bool "Enable writing support of OTP pages"
	depends on BFIN_OTP
	default n
	help
	  If you say Y here, you will enable support for writing of the
	  OTP pages.  This is dangerous by nature as you can only program
	  the pages once, so only enable this option when you actually
	  need it so as to not inadvertently clobber data.

	  If unsure, say N.

config PRINTER
	tristate "Parallel printer support"
	depends on PARPORT
	---help---
	  If you intend to attach a printer to the parallel port of your Linux
	  box (as opposed to using a serial printer; if the connector at the
	  printer has 9 or 25 holes ["female"], then it's serial), say Y.
	  Also read the Printing-HOWTO, available from
	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

	  It is possible to share one parallel port among several devices
	  (e.g. printer and ZIP drive) and it is safe to compile the
	  corresponding drivers into the kernel.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
	  <file:Documentation/parport.txt>.  The module will be called lp.

	  If you have several parallel ports, you can specify which ports to
	  use with the "lp" kernel command line option.  (Try "man bootparam"
	  or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about
	  how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)  The syntax of the
	  "lp" command line option can be found in <file:drivers/char/lp.c>.

	  If you have more than 8 printers, you need to increase the LP_NO
	  macro in lp.c and the PARPORT_MAX macro in parport.h.

config LP_CONSOLE
	bool "Support for console on line printer"
	depends on PRINTER
	---help---
	  If you want kernel messages to be printed out as they occur, you
	  can have a console on the printer. This option adds support for
	  doing that; to actually get it to happen you need to pass the
	  option "console=lp0" to the kernel at boot time.

	  If the printer is out of paper (or off, or unplugged, or too
	  busy..) the kernel will stall until the printer is ready again.
	  By defining CONSOLE_LP_STRICT to 0 (at your own risk) you
	  can make the kernel continue when this happens,
	  but it'll lose the kernel messages.

	  If unsure, say N.

config PPDEV
	tristate "Support for user-space parallel port device drivers"
	depends on PARPORT
	---help---
	  Saying Y to this adds support for /dev/parport device nodes.  This
	  is needed for programs that want portable access to the parallel
	  port, for instance deviceid (which displays Plug-and-Play device
	  IDs).

	  This is the parallel port equivalent of SCSI generic support (sg).
	  It is safe to say N to this -- it is not needed for normal printing
	  or parallel port CD-ROM/disk support.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

	  If you say Y here and create a character device node /dev/nwbutton
	  with major and minor numbers 10 and 158 ("man mknod"), then every
	  time the orange button is pressed a number of times, the number of
	  times the button was pressed will be written to that device.

	  This is most useful for applications, as yet unwritten, which
	  perform actions based on how many times the button is pressed in a
	  row.

	  Do not hold the button down for too long, as the driver does not
	  alter the behaviour of the hardware reset circuitry attached to the
	  button; it will still execute a hard reset if the button is held
	  down for longer than approximately five seconds.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
	  module will be called nwbutton.

	help
	  If you say Y here, then you will be able to initiate a system
	  shutdown and reboot by pressing the orange button a number of times.
	  The number of presses to initiate the shutdown is two by default,
	  but this can be altered by modifying the value of NUM_PRESSES_REBOOT
	  in nwbutton.h and recompiling the driver or, if you compile the

	  If you say Y here and create a character special file /dev/nvram
	  with major number 10 and minor number 144 using mknod ("man mknod"),
	  you get read and write access to the extra bytes of non-volatile
	  memory in the real time clock (RTC), which is contained in every PC
	  and most Ataris.  The actual number of bytes varies, depending on the
	  nvram in the system, but is usually 114 (128-14 for the RTC).

	  This memory is conventionally called "CMOS RAM" on PCs and "NVRAM"
	  on Ataris. /dev/nvram may be used to view settings there, or to
	  change them (with some utility). It could also be used to frequently
	  save a few bits of very important data that may not be lost over
	  power-off and for which writing to disk is too insecure. Note
	  however that most NVRAM space in a PC belongs to the BIOS and you
	  should NEVER idly tamper with it. See Ralf Brown's interrupt list
	  for a guide to the use of CMOS bytes by your BIOS.

	  On Atari machines, /dev/nvram is always configured and does not need
	  to be selected.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
	  module will be called nvram.
