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. | |
35 | ||
36 | If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new | |
37 | shiny Linux system :-) | |

43 | ---help--- | |
44 | If you say Y here, the virtual terminal will be in UTF-8 by default, | |
45 | and the keyboard will run in unicode mode. | |
46 | ||
47 | If you say N here, the virtual terminal will not be in UTF-8 by | |
48 | default, and the keyboard will run in XLATE mode. | |
49 | ||
50 | This can also be changed by passing 'default_utf8=<0|1>' on the | |
51 | kernel command line. | |
52 | ||
53 | Historically, the kernel has defaulted to non-UTF8 and XLATE mode. | |
54 | If unsure, say N here. | |

56 | config VT_CONSOLE |
57 | bool "Support for console on virtual terminal" if EMBEDDED | |
58 | depends on VT | |
59 | default y | |
60 | ---help--- | |
61 | The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages | |
62 | and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you | |
63 | answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with | |
64 | a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most | |
65 | common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want | |
66 | the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case | |
67 | you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below). | |
68 | ||
69 | If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual | |
70 | terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change | |
71 | that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which | |
72 | would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man | |
73 | bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or | |
74 | loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.) | |

87 | ---help--- | |
88 | The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical | |
89 | terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one | |
90 | console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console | |
91 | drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than | |
92 | 1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to | |
93 | select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the | |
94 | virtual terminals. | |

103 | ---help--- |
104 | Say Y here if you have any non-standard serial boards -- boards | |
105 | which aren't supported using the standard "dumb" serial driver. | |
106 | This includes intelligent serial boards such as Cyclades, | |
107 | Digiboards, etc. These are usually used for systems that need many | |
108 | serial ports because they serve many terminals or dial-in | |
109 | connections. | |
110 | ||
111 | Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the | |
112 | kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all | |

437 | A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two | |
438 | halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to | |
439 | a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to | |

441 | terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers | |
442 | and xterms. | |

444 | Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for | |
445 | masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme | |
446 | has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later, | |
447 | however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a | |
448 | pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo | |
449 | terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo | |
450 | terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was | |
451 | traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example. | |

512 | It is possible to share one parallel port among several devices | |
513 | (e.g. printer and ZIP drive) and it is safe to compile the | |

515 | ||
516 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read | |
517 | <file:Documentation/parport.txt>. The module will be called lp. | |
518 | ||
519 | If you have several parallel ports, you can specify which ports to | |
520 | use with the "lp" kernel command line option. (Try "man bootparam" | |
521 | or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about | |
522 | how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.) The syntax of the | |
523 | "lp" command line option can be found in <file:drivers/char/lp.c>. | |
524 | ||
525 | If you have more than 8 printers, you need to increase the LP_NO | |

536 | ||
537 | If the printer is out of paper (or off, or unplugged, or too | |
538 | busy..) the kernel will stall until the printer is ready again. | |
539 | By defining CONSOLE_LP_STRICT to 0 (at your own risk) you | |

923 | The ACP modem (Mwave) for Linux is a WinModem. It is composed of a | |
924 | kernel driver and a user level application. Together these components | |
925 | support direct attachment to public switched telephone networks (PSTNs) | |
926 | and support selected world wide countries. | |
927 | ||
928 | This version of the ACP Modem driver supports the IBM Thinkpad 600E, | |
929 | 600, and 770 that include on board ACP modem hardware. | |
930 | ||
931 | The modem also supports the standard communications port interface | |
932 | (ttySx) and is compatible with the Hayes AT Command Set. | |
