Or maybe there are bugs in both of these front-ends. I finally thought of looking at two .config files in text editors, one produced by make xconfig and one produced by make gconfig. Both are for kernel 2.6.0-test7 though the machines and original distros are different. In the .config generated by make xconfig, the following lines exist: # # USB Human Interface Devices (HID) # CONFIG_USB_HID=m CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y # CONFIG_HID_FF is not set # CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV is not set # # USB HID Boot Protocol drivers # # CONFIG_USB_KBD is not set # CONFIG_USB_MOUSE is not set # CONFIG_USB_AIPTEK is not set # CONFIG_USB_WACOM is not set [...] OK, aside from making me wonder what HIDDEV refers to and why it isn't set, and making it rather non-obvious which drivers are HID Boot Protocol and which aren't, the settings look pretty reasonable to me. In the .config generated by make gconfig, the following lines exist: # # USB Human Interface Devices (HID) # CONFIG_USB_HID=y CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y # CONFIG_HID_FF is not set CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y # CONFIG_USB_AIPTEK is not set # CONFIG_USB_WACOM is not set [...] With this file in a text editor, searching for string USB_KBD results in the string not being found.
