Just turn that default y option really to y (yes, you are right, the help text of this option is misleading...). It's like you turn off old acpi events option and scream that you acpi daemon doesn't work for instance. There are many instances of this behaviour in the kernel. And yes, many people don't need that option tuyrned on -- I think we need not-y testers too, but it might be my personal feeling. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
