config VT
        bool "Virtual terminal" if EMBEDDED
        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 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 SERIAL_NONSTANDARD
        bool "Non-standard serial port support"
        ---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
        ---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 modules, choose M here: the
          modules will be called ip2 and ip2main.

        depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD
        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
        ---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.

          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

        ---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

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

          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

config PRINTER
        tristate "Parallel printer support"

        ---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

          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.

          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.

          If you enable this driver, you will be able to communicate with
          your calculator through a set of device nodes under /dev. The
          main advantage of this driver is that you don't have to be root
          to use this precise link cable (depending on the permissions on
          the device nodes, though).

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

          If you don't know what a parallel link cable is or what a Texas

          Do not hold the button down for too long, as the driver does not

          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

          The raw driver permits block devices to be bound to /dev/raw/rawN. 
          Once bound, I/O against /dev/raw/rawN uses efficient zero-copy I/O. 
          See the raw(8) manpage for more details.

          The raw driver is deprecated and will be removed soon.
          Applications should simply open the device (eg /dev/hda1)
          with the O_DIRECT flag.
