Hello

PC speaker (CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR) is in kernel make menuconfig
2.6.11-gentoo-r5 -> Device Drivers -> Input device support

PC speaker is output device. Why is output device in input device
submenu? Isn't this a mistake?

Nono, it is no keyboard built-in speaker, it's standard PC speaker.

For PCs this is true but take a look at the sun keyboards.
