Hello everybody. The following extract from
drivers/input/gameport/Config.in doesn't seem quite right to me, in
general and for ARM specifically:
if [ "$CONFIG_GAMEPORT" = "m" ]; then
define_tristate CONFIG_SOUND_GAMEPORT m
fi
if [ "$CONFIG_GAMEPORT" != "m" ]; then
define_tristate CONFIG_SOUND_GAMEPORT y
fi
Could the maintainer please change this?
Thanks
Guennadi

The problem is, that if you don't have anything like a sound-card/gameport
at all, CONFIG_SOUND_GAMEPORT still will be YES. Ok, I didn't check in the
code, maybe it doesn't add a single byte to the kernel, .config looks a
bit confusing, doesn't it?
Thanks

Yes, it doesn't add anything. It's just a switch that *disables*
gameport code in sound drivers if no gameport support is selected in the
kernel.

Sorry, did I get it right - if it is set to "yes", then it DISABLES
gameport code?... Hm... Ok, as long as it doesn't add anything, I better
shut up now, but, seems to me, it does look confusing...
Thanks

No, if it is set to yes, it allows the gameport code in the sound
drivers. If set to no, it disables it. All only if the sound drivers
which have gameport code in them are enabled.
