Subject: x86-32-config: why is pc-speaker an input device?
Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 13:19:11 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47B601CF.9070300@tlinx.org> (raw)
I'm wondering how the generic, builtin PC-Speaker (config option
"INPUT_PCSPKR") can be used as an input device.
If it can not be used for input, why is it under the input config section:
"Device Drivers"
+ -> "Input Device Support"
+ -> "Miscellaneous devices"
+ -> "PC Speaker Support"
When booting, it is "enumerated" as an input device: (from dmesg)
input: PC Speaker as /devices/platform/pcspkr/input/input2
Just trying to figure out the rationale behind the choice...
