# Character device configuration
#

menu "Character devices"

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 && (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 modules, choose M here: the
	  modules will be called ip2 and ip2main.

config ROCKETPORT
	tristate "Comtrol RocketPort support"
	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.

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

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

	---help---
	  A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two

	  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.

config PRINTER

	  Also read the Printing-HOWTO, available from

	  It is possible to share one parallel port among several devices

	  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>.

	  This memory is conventionally called "CMOS RAM" on PCs and "NVRAM"

	  support direct attachment to public switched telephone networks (PSTNs)
	  and support selected world wide countries.

	  This version of the ACP Modem driver supports the IBM Thinkpad 600E,
	  600, and 770 that include on board ACP modem hardware.

	  The modem also supports the standard communications port interface
	  (ttySx) and is compatible with the Hayes AT Command Set.

	  The user level application needed to use this driver can be found at
	  the IBM Linux Technology Center (LTC) web site:
	  <http://www.ibm.com/linux/ltc/>.
