9 Say Y here to get to see options for various computer-human interface
10 device drivers. This option alone does not add any kernel code.
11
12 If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled.

20 ---help---
21 A human interface device (HID) is a type of computer device that
22 interacts directly with and takes input from humans. The term "HID"
23 most commonly used to refer to the USB-HID specification, but other
24 devices (such as, but not strictly limited to, Bluetooth) are
25 designed using HID specification (this involves certain keyboards,
26 mice, tablets, etc). This option compiles into kernel the generic
27 HID layer code (parser, usages, etc.), which can then be used by
28 transport-specific HID implementation (like USB or Bluetooth).

32 If unsure, say Y

34 config HID_DEBUG
35 bool "HID debugging support"
36 default y if !EMBEDDED
37 depends on HID
38 ---help---
39 This option lets the HID layer output diagnostics about its internal
40 state, resolve HID usages, dump HID fields, etc. Individual HID drivers
41 use this debugging facility to output information about individual HID
42 devices, etc.
43
44 This feature is useful for those who are either debugging the HID parser
45 or any HID hardware device.
46
47 If unsure, say N
48
49 config HIDRAW
50 bool "/dev/hidraw raw HID device support"
51 depends on HID
52 ---help---
53 Say Y here if you want to support HID devices (from the USB
54 specification standpoint) that aren't strictly user interface
55 devices, like monitor controls and Uninterruptable Power Supplies.
56
57 This module supports these devices separately using a separate
58 event interface on /dev/hidraw.
59
60 There is also a /dev/hiddev configuration option in the USB HID
61 configuration menu. In comparison to hiddev, this device does not process
62 the hid events at all (no parsing, no lookups). This lets applications
63 to work on raw hid events when they want to, and avoid using transport-specific
64 userspace libhid/libusb libraries.
65
66 If unsure, say Y.

73 config HID_COMPAT
74 bool "Load all HID drivers on hid core load"
75 default y
76 ---help---
77 Compatible option for older userspace. If you have system without udev
78 support of module loading through aliases and also old
79 module-init-tools which can't handle hid bus, choose Y here. Otherwise
80 say N. If you say N and your userspace is old enough, the only
81 functionality you loose is modules autoloading.
82
83 If unsure, say Y.
84
85 config HID_APPLE
86 tristate "Apple"
87 default m
88 depends on (USB_HID || BT_HIDP)
89 ---help---
90 Support for some Apple devices which less or more break
91 HID specification.
92
93 Say Y here if you want support for the special keys (Fn, Numlock) on
94 Apple iBooks, PowerBooks, MacBooks, MacBook Pros and aluminum USB
95 keyboards.
96
97 If unsure, say M.
