Hi Elmer,

That's because the original author of xconfig filled their code with cheesy assumptions and then xconfig quietly drops its marbles when its assumptions are not met. In this case, the assumption is that config options are unique, and CONFIG_FB_ATY appears four times in drivers/video/Config.in.
(It's not the fault of drivers/video/Config.in; the unfortunate guy who wrote drivers/video/Config.in must have used up a lot of chickens and goats making it work with xconfig at all!)
I haven't fixed this yet in 2.2.0-pre9-mec1, alas. Soon.
Michael
