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

  49. ---help---
  50. The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
  51. and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
  52. answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
  53. a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
  54. common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
  55. the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
  56. you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
  57. If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
  58. terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
  59. that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
  60. would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
  61. bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
  62. loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)

  74. default n
  75. ---help---
  76. The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical
  77. terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one
  78. console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console
  79. drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than
  80. 1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to
  81. select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the
  82. virtual terminals.
  83. See <file:Documentation/console/console.txt> for more
  84. information. For framebuffer console users, please refer to
  85. <file:Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt>.
  86. config UNIX98_PTYS
  87. bool "Unix98 PTY support" if EXPERT
  88. default y
  89. ---help---
  90. A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
  91. halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
  92. a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
  93. read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
  94. terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
  95. and xterms.
  96. Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
  97. masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
  98. has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
  99. however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
  100. pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
  101. terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
  102. terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
  103. traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
  104. All modern Linux systems use the Unix98 ptys. Say Y unless
  105. you're on an embedded system and want to conserve memory.
