CONFIG_BLINK=y

OOps. WTF is that?

config BLINK
	tristate "Keyboard blink driver"
	help
	  Driver that when loaded will blink the keyboard LEDs
continuously.
	  This is useful for debugging and for kernels that cannot
necessarily
	  output something to the screen like kexec kernels to give
the user
	  a visual indication that the kernel is doing something.


..does it need "default n"? Why does it make keys stuck sometimes?
