  10. ---help---
  11. If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
  12. display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
  13. can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
  14. one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
  15. virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
  16. one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
  17. an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
  18. is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.
  19. The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
  20. properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
  21. man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
  22. character sequences that can be used to change those properties
  23. directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
  24. the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
  25. with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
  26. You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
  27. of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
  28. embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
  29. memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
  30. or network connection.
  31. If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new
  32. shiny Linux system :-)
  33. config VT_CONSOLE
  34. bool "Support for console on virtual terminal" if EMBEDDED
  35. depends on VT
  36. default y
  37. ---help---
  38. The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
  39. and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
  40. answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
  41. a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
  42. common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
  43. the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
  44. you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
  45. If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
  46. terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
  47. that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
  48. would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
  49. bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
  50. loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)
  51. If unsure, say Y.

  60. ---help---
  61. The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical
  62. terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one
  63. console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console
  64. drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than
  65. 1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to
  66. select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the
  67. virtual terminals.
  68. See <file:Documentation/console/console.txt> for more
  69. information. For framebuffer console users, please refer to

  74. ---help---
  75. Say Y here if you have any non-standard serial boards -- boards
  76. which aren't supported using the standard "dumb" serial driver.
  77. This includes intelligent serial boards such as Cyclades,
  78. Digiboards, etc. These are usually used for systems that need many
  79. serial ports because they serve many terminals or dial-in
  80. connections.
  81. Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
  82. kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
  83. the questions about non-standard serial boards.
  84. Most people can say N here.

  746. The ACP modem (Mwave) for Linux is a WinModem. It is composed of a
  747. kernel driver and a user level application. Together these components
  748. support direct attachment to public switched telephone networks (PSTNs)
  749. and support selected world wide countries.
  750. This version of the ACP Modem driver supports the IBM Thinkpad 600E,
  751. 600, and 770 that include on board ACP modem hardware.
  752. The modem also supports the standard communications port interface
  753. (ttySx) and is compatible with the Hayes AT Command Set.
  754. The user level application needed to use this driver can be found at
  755. the IBM Linux Technology Center (LTC) web site:
  756. <http://www.ibm.com/linux/ltc/>.
  757. If you own one of the above IBM Thinkpads which has the Mwave chipset
