  15. help
  16. If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
  17. display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
  18. can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
  19. one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
  20. virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
  21. one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
  22. an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
  23. is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.
  24. The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
  25. properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
  26. man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
  27. character sequences that can be used to change those properties
  28. directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
  29. the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
  30. with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
  31. You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
  32. of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
  33. embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
  34. memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
  35. or network connection.
  36. If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new
  37. shiny Linux system :-)

  49. help
  50. The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
  51. and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
  52. answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
  53. a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
  54. common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
  55. the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
  56. you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
  57. If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
  58. terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
  59. that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
  60. would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
  61. bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
  62. loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)

  75. The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical
  76. terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one
  77. console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console
  78. drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than
  79. 1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to
  80. select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the

  85. config UNIX98_PTYS
  86. bool "Unix98 PTY support" if EXPERT
  87. default y
  88. help
  89. A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
  90. halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
  91. a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
  92. read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
  93. terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
  94. and xterms.
  95. Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
  96. masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
  97. has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
  98. however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
  99. pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
  100. terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
  101. terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
  102. traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
  103. All modern Linux systems use the Unix98 ptys. Say Y unless
  104. you're on an embedded system and want to conserve memory.

  109. A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
  110. halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
  111. a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
  112. read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a

  128. systems may want to reduce this to save memory.

  131. config LDISC_AUTOLOAD
  132. bool "Automatically load TTY Line Disciplines"
  133. default y
  134. help
  135. Historically the kernel has always automatically loaded any
  136. line discipline that is in a kernel module when a user asks
  137. for it to be loaded with the TIOCSETD ioctl, or through other
  138. means. This is not always the best thing to do on systems
  139. where you know you will not be using some of the more
  140. "ancient" line disciplines, so prevent the kernel from doing
  141. this unless the request is coming from a process with the
  142. CAP_SYS_MODULE permissions.
  143. Say 'Y' here if you trust your userspace users to do the right
  144. thing, or if you have only provided the line disciplines that
  145. you know you will be using, or if you wish to continue to use
  146. the traditional method of on-demand loading of these modules
  147. by any user.

  149. dev.tty.ldisc_autoload sysctl, this configuration option will

  158. This includes intelligent serial boards such as
  159. Digiboards, etc. These are usually used for systems that need many
  160. serial ports because they serve many terminals or dial-in
  161. connections.
  162. Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
  163. kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
