If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
|
14 |
|
|
display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
|
15 |
|
|
can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
|
16 |
|
|
one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
|
17 |
|
|
virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
|
18 |
|
|
one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
|
19 |
|
|
an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
|
20 |
|
|
is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-.
|
21 |
|
|
|
22 |
|
|
The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
|
23 |
|
|
properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
|
24 |
|
|
man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
|
25 |
|
|
character sequences that can be used to change those properties
|
26 |
|
|
directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
|
27 |
|
|
the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
|
28 |
|
|
with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
|
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
|
|
You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
|
31 |
|
|
of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
|
32 |
|
|
embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
|
33 |
|
|
memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
|
34 |
|
|
or network connection.
|
35 |
|
|
|
36 |
|
|
If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new
|
37 |
|
|
shiny Linux system :-)

The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
|

|
46 |
|
|
answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
|
47 |
|
|
a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
|
48 |
|
|
common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
|
49 |
|
|
the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case

you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).

54 |

that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
|
55 |
|
|
would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man

bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or

57 |

loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)

inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).

The module will be called sx. If you want to do that, say M here.

A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
|
421 |
|
|
halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
|
422 |
|
|
a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
|
423 |
|
|
read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a

424 |

terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
|
425 |
|

and xterms.

Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
|
428 |
|
|
masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
|
429 |
|
|
has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
|
430 |
|
|
however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
|
431 |
|
|
pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
|
432 |
|
|
terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
|
433 |
|
|
terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/. What was
|
434 |
|
|
traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
|
435 |
|
|

All modern Linux systems use the Unix98 ptys. Say Y unless

505 |

Do not hold the button down for too long, as the driver does not

alter the behaviour of the hardware reset circuitry attached to the

button; it will still execute a hard reset if the button is held

however that most NVRAM space in a PC belongs to the BIOS and you

The raw driver permits block devices to be bound to /dev/raw/rawN.
|
958 |
|
|
Once bound, I/O against /dev/raw/rawN uses efficient zero-copy I/O.

|
See the raw(8) manpage for more details.
