12 ---help---
13 If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
14 display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
15 can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
16 one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
17 virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
18 one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
19 an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
20 is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.
21
22 The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
23 properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
24 man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
25 character sequences that can be used to change those properties
26 directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
27 the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
28 with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
29
30 You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
31 of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
32 embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
33 memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
34 or network connection.

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

41 depends on VT
42 default y
43 ---help---
44 The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
45 and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
46 answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
47 a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
48 common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
49 the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
50 you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
51
52 If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
53 terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
54 that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
55 would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
56 bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
57 loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)

71 The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical
72 terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one
73 console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console
74 drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than
75 1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to
76 select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the
77 virtual terminals.

87 Say Y here if you have any non-standard serial boards -- boards
88 which aren't supported using the standard "dumb" serial driver.
89 This includes intelligent serial boards such as Cyclades,
90 Digiboards, etc. These are usually used for systems that need many
91 serial ports because they serve many terminals or dial-in
92 connections.
93
94 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
95 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
96 the questions about non-standard serial boards.

517 box (as opposed to using a serial printer; if the connector at the
518 printer has 9 or 25 holes ["female"], then it's serial), say Y.
519 Also read the Printing-HOWTO, available from
520 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
521
522 It is possible to share one parallel port among several devices
523 (e.g. printer and ZIP drive) and it is safe to compile the
524 corresponding drivers into the kernel.
525
526 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
527 <file:Documentation/parport.txt>. The module will be called lp.
528
529 If you have several parallel ports, you can specify which ports to
530 use with the "lp" kernel command line option. (Try "man bootparam"
531 or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about
532 how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.) The syntax of the
533 "lp" command line option can be found in <file:drivers/char/lp.c>.
534
535 If you have more than 8 printers, you need to increase the LP_NO
536 macro in lp.c and the PARPORT_MAX macro in parport.h.

545 option "console=lp0" to the kernel at boot time.
546
547 If the printer is out of paper (or off, or unplugged, or too
548 busy..) the kernel will stall until the printer is ready again.
549 By defining CONSOLE_LP_STRICT to 0 (at your own risk) you

1024 If you say Y here, you will have a miscdevice named "/dev/hpet/". Each
1025 open selects one of the timers supported by the HPET. The timers are

1045 In some hardware implementations, the page containing HPET
1046 registers may also contain other things that shouldn't be
1047 exposed to the user. If this applies to your hardware,

1073 The telecom clock device is specific to the MPCBL0010 and MPCBL0050
1074 ATCA computers and allows direct userspace access to the
1075 configuration of the telecom clock configuration settings. This
1076 device is used for hardware synchronization across the ATCA backplane
1077 fabric. Upon loading, the driver exports a sysfs directory,
1078 /sys/devices/platform/telco_clock, with a number of files for
1079 controlling the behavior of this hardware.
