Dear Linux folks,
I am using Linux 5.16, and I am unable to unset `VGA_ARB` in Kconfig
(`make menuconfig`). I have an Asus F2A85-M PRO with an AMD A6-6400K APU
(integrated Radeon graphics device), so no legacy stuff.
From `drivers/gpu/vga/Kconfig`:
```
config VGA_ARB
bool "VGA Arbitration" if EXPERT
default y
depends on (PCI && !S390)
help
[…]
config VGA_ARB_MAX_GPUS
int "Maximum number of GPUs"
default 16
depends on VGA_ARB
help
[…]
config VGA_SWITCHEROO
bool "Laptop Hybrid Graphics - GPU switching support"
depends on X86
depends on ACPI
depends on PCI
depends on (FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=n || FB=y)
select VGA_ARB
help
[…]
```
But in `make menuconfig` I am unable to unselect it.
-*- VGA Arbitration
and the help says:
Symbol: VGA_ARB [=y]
Type : bool
Depends on: HAS_IOMEM [=y] && PCI [=y] && !S390
Visible if: HAS_IOMEM [=y] && PCI [=y] && !S390 && EXPERT [=n]
Location:
Main menu
-> Device Drivers
-> Graphics support
Selected by [n]:
- VGA_SWITCHEROO [=n] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && X86 [=y] && ACPI [=y]
&& PCI [=y] && (!FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE [=y] || FB [=y]=y)
So, VGA_SWITCHEROO is not set, and, therefore, as `Selected by [n]:`
suggests, I thought I’d be able to deselect it.
It’d be great if you could help me out.
Kind regards,
Paul

You can modify VGA_ARB if you set ^^^^^^ "EXPERT".
