| |
The config step allows the following settings, which breaks the build process when attempting to link `vmlinux', because of missing `fbcon_vga_*' symbols.
I have an i486 machine.
It seems that something in this setting should force CONFIG_FBCON_VGA not to build as module.
Also the Tcl interface (make xconfig) still has problems with the "console" screen:
* the dependants of "select other fonts" and "select compiled-in fonts" use the same macro names, which unexpectedly makes the greyed-out items (under "other fonts") to be selected just like the ones under "compiled-in fonts". Quite confusing.
* some unselectable items, which are selectable form `make config': "vga chipset", "vesa graphics", etc.
* some irrelevant selectable items: amiga, atari, mac graphic modes (FBCON_AFB through FBCON_MAC)
* some unselectable items (not selectable from `make config' either, so it may not be a bug): "select other fonts" and children
