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 | 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.) | |
58 | ||

70 | ---help--- | |
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. | |

442 | ---help--- | |
443 | A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two | |
444 | halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to | |
445 | a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to | |
446 | read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a | |
447 | terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers | |
448 | and xterms. | |
449 | ||
450 | Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx | |
451 | for masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo | |
452 | terminals. This scheme has a number of problems, including | |
453 | security. This option enables these legacy devices; on most | |

488 | ---help--- | |
489 | If you intend to attach a printer to the parallel port of your Linux | |
490 | box (as opposed to using a serial printer; if the connector at the | |
491 | printer has 9 or 25 holes ["female"], then it's serial), say Y. | |
492 | Also read the Printing-HOWTO, available from | |
493 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. | |
494 | ||
495 | It is possible to share one parallel port among several devices | |
496 | (e.g. printer and ZIP drive) and it is safe to compile the | |
497 | corresponding drivers into the kernel. | |
498 | ||
499 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read | |
500 | <file:Documentation/parport.txt>. The module will be called lp. | |
501 | ||
502 | If you have several parallel ports, you can specify which ports to | |
503 | use with the "lp" kernel command line option. (Try "man bootparam" | |
504 | or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about | |
505 | how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.) The syntax of the | |
506 | "lp" command line option can be found in <file:drivers/char/lp.c>. | |
507 | ||
508 | If you have more than 8 printers, you need to increase the LP_NO | |
509 | macro in lp.c and the PARPORT_MAX macro in parport.h. | |

515 | If you want kernel messages to be printed out as they occur, you | |
516 | can have a console on the printer. This option adds support for | |
517 | doing that; to actually get it to happen you need to pass the | |
518 | option "console=lp0" to the kernel at boot time. | |
519 | ||
520 | If the printer is out of paper (or off, or unplugged, or too | |
521 | busy..) the kernel will stall until the printer is ready again. | |
522 | By defining CONSOLE_LP_STRICT to 0 (at your own risk) you | |
523 | can make the kernel continue when this happens, | |
524 | but it'll lose the kernel messages. | |

910 | The ACP modem (Mwave) for Linux is a WinModem. It is composed of a | |
911 | kernel driver and a user level application. Together these components | |
912 | support direct attachment to public switched telephone networks (PSTNs) | |
913 | and support selected world wide countries. | |
914 | ||
915 | This version of the ACP Modem driver supports the IBM Thinkpad 600E, | |
916 | 600, and 770 that include on board ACP modem hardware. | |
917 | ||
918 | The modem also supports the standard communications port interface | |
919 | (ttySx) and is compatible with the Hayes AT Command Set. | |
920 | ||
921 | The user level application needed to use this driver can be found at | |
922 | the IBM Linux Technology Center (LTC) web site: | |
923 | <http://www.ibm.com/linux/ltc/>. | |
