These options only be visible if the user has chosen to build the WM97xx touchscreen driver which does the default thing already. Within the context of the driver these options are of the broken boot variety since without at least one of them being enabled the driver will do nothing except waste resources. I really don't think it's sensible for the default configuration of the driver to produce something totally non-functional. > (and distributions don't follow "default" anyway, so don't worry about > that part) This change is a direct result of Ubuntu enabling the driver with all the controllers compiled out. This seems like a completely reasonable thing for them to do - nothing in Kconfig suggests that it is mandatory to enable at least one of the options and the existing default and help text both suggest that it should be turned off. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
