Summary: CONFIG_INPUT should be "y" by default Kernel Version: 2.5.66 Status: NEW Severity: normal Owner: vojtech@suse.cz Submitter: michael.wardle@adacel.com
Problem Description: When attempting to build a 2.5.66 kernel, CONFIG_INPUT is "m" by default. This hides configuration items such as CONFIG_VT, without which the new kernel will not have a console. As a working console is a basic feature that I expect most users will want, I suggest both CONFIG_INPUT and CONFIG_VT be "y" by default.
---------------------------- NOTE -----------------------
Above was the bug as filed.
CONFIG_INPUT and CONFIG_VT *do* default to y. Unfortunately 2.4 configs have CONFIG_INPUT disabled, which overrides the default ;-( This is breaking far too many people ... we really need to do something like make CONFIG_INPUT_DISABLE and flip the logic instead, so people stop tripping over this. Too much upgrade pain.
