  	select INPUT
  	default y
  	---help---
  	  If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
  	  display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
  	  can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
  	  one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
  	  virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
  	  one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
  	  an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
  	  is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.
  
  	  The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
  	  properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
  	  man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
  	  character sequences that can be used to change those properties
  	  directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
  	  the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
  	  with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
  
  	  You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
  	  of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
  	  embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
  	  memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
  	  or network connection.
  
  	  If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new
  	  shiny Linux system :-)
  
  config CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS
  	depends on VT
  	default y
  	bool "Enable character translations in console" if EXPERT
  	---help---
  	  This enables support for font mapping and Unicode translation
  	  on virtual consoles.
  
  config VT_CONSOLE
  	bool "Support for console on virtual terminal" if EXPERT
  	depends on VT
  	default y
  	---help---
  	  The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
  	  and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
  	  answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
  	  a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
  	  common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
  	  the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
  	  you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
  
  	  If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
  	  terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
  	  that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
  	  would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
  	  bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
  	  loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)
  
  	  If unsure, say Y.

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

  config UNIX98_PTYS
  	bool "Unix98 PTY support" if EXPERT
  	default y
  	---help---
  	  A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
  	  halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
  	  a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
  	  read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
  	  terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
  	  and xterms.
  
  	  Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
  	  masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
  	  has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
  	  however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
  	  pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
  	  terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
  	  terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
  	  traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
  
  	  All modern Linux systems use the Unix98 ptys.  Say Y unless
  	  you're on an embedded system and want to conserve memory.

  	  For this to work, the byte channel driver must be compiled
  	  in-kernel, not as a module.
  
  	  Note that only one early console driver can be enabled, so don't
  	  enable any others if you enable this one.
  
  	  If the number you specify is not a valid byte channel handle, then
  	  there simply will be no early console output.  This is true also
  	  if you don't boot under a hypervisor at all.

  	  Say Y here if you want a NULL TTY which simply discards messages.
  
  	  This is useful to allow userspace applications which expect a console
  	  device to work without modifications even when no console is
  	  available or desired.
  
  	  In order to use this driver, you should redirect the console to this
  	  TTY, or boot the kernel with console=ttynull.
  
  	  If unsure, say N.

  	  This enables a TTY and console on the MIPS EJTAG Fast Debug Channels,

  	  probe which supports it, to get console output and a login prompt via
  	  EJTAG without needing to connect a serial cable.
  
  	  TTY devices are named e.g. ttyFDC3c2 (for FDC channel 2 of the FDC on
  	  CPU3).
  
  	  The console can be enabled with console=fdc1 (for FDC channel 1 on all
  	  CPUs). Do not use the console unless there is a debug probe attached
  	  to drain the FDC TX FIFO.
  
  	  If unsure, say N.

  config LDISC_AUTOLOAD

  	help
  	  Historically the kernel has always automatically loaded any
  	  line discipline that is in a kernel module when a user asks
  	  for it to be loaded with the TIOCSETD ioctl, or through other
  	  means.  This is not always the best thing to do on systems
  	  where you know you will not be using some of the more
  	  "ancient" line disciplines, so prevent the kernel from doing
  	  this unless the request is coming from a process with the
  	  CAP_SYS_MODULE permissions.
  
  	  Say 'Y' here if you trust your userspace users to do the right
  	  thing, or if you have only provided the line disciplines that
  	  you know you will be using, or if you wish to continue to use
  	  the traditional method of on-demand loading of these modules
  	  by any user.
  
  	  This functionality can be changed at runtime with the
  	  dev.tty.ldisc_autoload sysctl, this configuration option will
  	  only set the default value of this functionality.
