Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 10:03:05 -0400 From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org> To: member graysky <graysky@...hlinux.us> Cc: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Re: bug in streamline_config.pl OK, you just found a bug ;-) You complained about CONFIG_DRM_RADEON being selected (that's ATI Radean). Here's why: CONFIG_DRM_RADEON select by dependency on HWMON CONFIG_HWMON_VID selected by direct module hwmon_vid You had hwmon_vid enabled. This module gets selected by other modules, one being DRM_RADEON. If a module is selected by other modules and does not have a prompt to select itself, then I have to select the other modules because I don't know what module is needed to make sure this module is selected (again, I can add logic to see if the select is satisfied by the direct selections). But, (here's the bug) HWMON has a prompt! But it's a different kind of prompt. It's a menuconfig option and not a config option. By making this one-liner fix, I just removed the following options from your config: CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI=m CONFIG_RFKILL=m CONFIG_SFC=m CONFIG_DRM=m CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m CONFIG_DRM_I915=m CONFIG_FB_DDC=m CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA=m CONFIG_FB_RIVA=m CONFIG_FB_RADEON=m CONFIG_FB_SAVAGE=m CONFIG_FB_3DFX=m CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI=m CONFIG_EEEPC_LAPTOP=m I'll go ahead and make sure that this fix makes it into 2.6.37 -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
