Hi,
this is a patch which fixes two configuration issues and a bug report
about make xconfig.
Patches
a) Parallel printer support configuration is somewhat confusing since
config/menuconfig don't show parallel printer support if somebody
forgets to enable Parallel port support in the first place. This change
to drivers/char/Config.in shows a note of how to enable parallel
printer support.
b) NCR53C7,8XX and NCR53C8XX bite each other. This patch adds an
explicit note that NCR53C7,8XX disables NCR53C8XX-only support
Furthermore, it contains two amendments to Configure.help (Maintainer
is Cc:'d) which explicitly state that NCR53C7,8XX and NCR53C8XX can
only coexist if both built as modules and only one active at a time.
Patches are attached below. Files affected:
+++ linux-2.1.128-ma/Documentation/Configure.help Fri Nov 13 18:48:47 1998
+++ linux-2.1.128-ma/drivers/char/Config.in Fri Nov 13 19:08:30 1998
+++ linux-2.1.128-ma/drivers/scsi/Config.in Fri Nov 13 19:21:57 1998
Bug report
c) xconfig (does not apply to config and menuconfig) shows the
NCR5380/53c400 port mapping method choice list despite "Generic
NCR5380/53c400 SCSI support" is disabled. Seems to be a "choice"
related problem in scripts/tk*.c, but I'm not going to mess with that
stuff.
