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

179 bool "Non-standard serial port support"
180 depends on HAS_IOMEM
181 ---help---
182 Say Y here if you have any non-standard serial boards -- boards
183 which aren't supported using the standard "dumb" serial driver.
184 This includes intelligent serial boards such as Cyclades,
185 Digiboards, etc. These are usually used for systems that need many
186 serial ports because they serve many terminals or dial-in
187 connections.
188
189 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
190 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
191 the questions about non-standard serial boards.
192
193 Most people can say N here.

199 This driver supports Comtrol RocketPort and RocketModem PCI boards.
200 These boards provide 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 high-speed serial ports or
201 modems. For information about the RocketPort/RocketModem boards
202 and this driver read <file:Documentation/serial/rocket.txt>.

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

208 you don't have a Comtrol RocketPort/RocketModem card installed, say N.

229 depends on CYCLADES && PCI
230 help
231 The Cyclades-Z family of multiport cards allows 2 (two) driver op
232 modes: polling and interrupt. In polling mode, the driver will check
233 the status of the Cyclades-Z ports every certain amount of time
234 (which is called polling cycle and is configurable). In interrupt
235 mode, it will use an interrupt line (IRQ) in order to check the
236 status of the Cyclades-Z ports. The default op mode is polling. If
237 unsure, say N.

341 The trace router uses the Linux tty line discipline framework to
342 route trace data coming from a tty port (say UART for example) to
343 the trace sink line discipline driver and to another tty port (say
344 USB). This is part of a solution for the MIPI P1149.7, compact JTAG,
345 standard, which is for debugging mobile devices. The PTI driver in
346 drivers/misc/pti.c defines the majority of this MIPI solution.
347
348 You should select this driver if the target kernel is meant for
349 a mobile device containing a modem. Then you will need to select

358 trace data coming from the trace router line discipline driver
359 to a user-defined tty port target, like USB.
360 This is to provide a way to extract modem trace data on
361 devices that do not have a PTI HW module, or just need modem
362 trace data to come out of a different HW output port.

390 If you want early console (udbg) output through a byte channel,
391 specify the handle of the byte channel to use.
392
393 For this to work, the byte channel driver must be compiled
394 in-kernel, not as a module.
395
396 Note that only one early console driver can be enabled, so don't
397 enable any others if you enable this one.
398
399 If the number you specify is not a valid byte channel handle, then
400 there simply will be no early console output. This is true also
401 if you don't boot under a hypervisor at all.
