It would be good to understand why this occurs. If I enable this config option, and turn off TTY I get the below errors. drivers/built-in.o: In function `serport_ldisc_read': serport.c:(.text+0x1aace6): undefined reference to `tty_name' serport.c:(.text+0x1aad57): undefined reference to `tty_name' drivers/built-in.o: In function `serport_init': serport.c:(.init.text+0x8478): undefined reference to `tty_register_ldisc' drivers/built-in.o: In function `serport_exit': serport.c:(.exit.text+0xb29): undefined reference to `tty_unregister_ldisc' All because MOUSE_PS2 depends on SERIO, just like a lot of entries I blocked. I assume this means I should keep the dependency on TTY. Unfortunately, I don't have time to dig deeper for the true cause of the dependency right now. - Joe * Resending message as I forgot to turn off HTML messaging in Gmail (sorry), and I've heard SPAM blockers might eat HTML messages sent to LKML people. - Joe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
