Say Yes here if you have any input device that uses serial I/O to communicate with the system. This includes the * standard AT keyboard and PS/2 mouse * as well as serial mice, Sun keyboards, some joysticks and 6dof devices and more. If unsure, say Y. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called serio.
i8042 is the chip over which the standard AT keyboard and PS/2 mouse are connected to the computer. If you use these devices, you'll need to say Y here. If unsure, say Y. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called i8042.
Say Y here if you plan to use an input device (mouse, joystick, tablet, 6dof) that communicates over the RS232 serial (COM) port. More information is available: <file:Documentation/input/input.txt> If unsure, say Y. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called serport.
Say Y here if you have a Texas Instruments TravelMate notebook equipped with the ct82c710 chip and want to use a mouse connected to the "QuickPort". If unsure, say N. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ct82c710.
Say Y here if you built a simple parallel port adapter to attach an additional AT keyboard, XT keyboard or PS/2 mouse. More information is available: <file:Documentation/input/input.txt> If unsure, say N. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called parkbd.
Say Y here if you have the Acorn RiscPC and want to use an AT keyboard connected to its keyboard controller. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called rpckbd.
Say Y here if you want to use the PSIF peripheral on AVR32 devices and connect a PS/2 keyboard and/or mouse to it. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called at32psif.
This driver provides support for the PS/2 ports on PA-RISC machines over which HP PS/2 keyboards and PS/2 mice may be connected. If you use these devices, you'll need to say Y here. It's safe to enable this driver, so if unsure, say Y. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called gscps2.
This option enables support for the "System Device Controller", an i8042 carrying microcode to manage a few miscellaneous devices on some Hewlett Packard systems. The SDC itself contains a 10ms resolution timer/clock capable of delivering interrupts on a periodic and one-shot basis. The SDC may also be connected to a battery-backed real-time clock, a basic audio waveform generator, and an HP-HIL Master Link Controller serving up to seven input devices. By itself this option is rather useless, but enabling it will enable selection of drivers for the abovementioned devices. It is, however, incompatible with the old, reliable HIL keyboard driver, and the new HIL driver is experimental, so if you plan to use a HIL keyboard as your primary keyboard, you may wish to keep using that driver until the new HIL drivers have had more testing.
Say Y here if you have a Mobility Docking station with PS/2 keyboard and mice ports. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called pcips2.
Say Y here if you have SGI O2 workstation and want to use its PS/2 ports. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called maceps2.
Say Y here if you are using a driver for device connected to a PS/2 port, such as PS/2 mouse or standard AT keyboard. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called libps2.
Say Y here if you want to have raw access to serio ports, such as AUX ports on i8042 keyboard controller. Each serio port that is bound to this driver will be accessible via a char device with major 10 and dynamically allocated minor. The driver will try allocating minor 1 (that historically corresponds to /dev/psaux) first. To bind this driver to a serio port use sysfs interface: echo -n "serio_raw" > /sys/bus/serio/devices/serioX/drvctl To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called serio_raw.
This driver supports XPS PS/2 IP from the Xilinx EDK on PowerPC platform. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called xilinx_ps2.
Say Y here if you have Altera University Program PS/2 ports. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called altera_ps2.
Say Y here if you have an E3 and want to use its mailboard, or any standard AT keyboard connected to the mailboard port. When used for the E3 mailboard, a non-standard key table must be loaded from userspace, possibly using udev extras provided keymap helper utility. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here; the module will be called ams_delta_serio.
Say Y here if you have the PS/2 line multiplexer like the one present on TQC boards. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ps2mult.
