In some of the Kconfig files, the options are not adequately decribed. I collected a few of the bad descriptions I found: --- Lowlevel video output switch controls (VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL) [M/n/y/?] (NEW) ? This framework adds support for low-level control of the video output switch. --- - What is THE video output switch and why would I need low level control? - Frameworks should be auto-selected like libraries, shouldn't they? - WTF is this a module? ------------- --- Auxiliary Display support (AUXDISPLAY) [N/y/?] (NEW) ? Say Y here to get to see options for auxiliary display drivers. This option alone does not add any kernel code. --- - If I knw what an axilary display was, I would not read this help text! - After digging some time, I discovered that all Auxdisplays are parallel port devices. Rename to "Parallel port display device support"? ------------- --- Transformation user configuration interface (XFRM_USER) [N/m/y/?] (NEW) Support for Transformation(XFRM) user configuration interface like IPsec used by native Linux tools. If unsure, say Y. --- - I'm not sure if these words combine to a sentence. - I can't tell if IPSEC is the only user or if I'd break other parts by not saying 'Y'. OTOH, I don't want to bloat my kernel ... - What's a native linux tool? ------------- --- SCSI target support (SCSI_TGT) [N/m/y/?] (NEW) ? If you want to use SCSI target mode drivers enable this option. If you choose M, the module will be called scsi_tgt. --- What TF is a SCSI target mode, what is a target mode driver? -- I'm a member of DNA (National Assocciation of Dyslexics). -- Storm in <5Z4Z7.52353$4x4.6445347@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
