Grayed-out settings mean you must select something else first, typically the setting immediately before the grayed-out ones. This is more obvious if you use "make menuconfig", as the unselectable settings doesn't show at all until enabled.
You must select sound support before you can select soundblaster, and select soundblaster before you can select soundblaster details like IRQ/DMA.
SVGA settings work the same way, enable some main setting first before you can access detail settings.
