Subject: special HID & Kconfig: odd behavior in gconfig

I use gconfig & and cannot turn off any of the special HID devices.

the Kconfig for them all have the same pattern e.g.

config HID_DRAGONRISE
	tristate "DragonRise Inc. support" if EMBEDDED
	depends on USB_HID
	default !EMBEDDED

The 'if EMBEDDED' on the tristate line seems to confuse gconfig and it
sets them all to m & does not let me set them to N. I'm building this on
a standard desktop machine.

Any idea what the intention of this was? or can we just remove the if
embedded part?

thanks

Richard
