329 bool "Video output control support"
330 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
333 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to provide an interface to control
334 the various video output ports.
336 This feature often won't work well, depending on ThinkPad model,
337 display state, video output devices in use, whether there is a X
338 server running, phase of the moon, and the current mood of
339 Schroedinger's cat. If you can use X.org's RandR to control
340 your ThinkPad's video output ports instead of this feature,
341 don't think twice: do it and say N here to save some memory.
343 If you are not sure, say Y here.
345 config THINKPAD_ACPI_HOTKEY_POLL
346 bool "Suport NVRAM polling for hot keys"
347 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
350 Some thinkpad models benefit from NVRAM polling to detect a few of
351 the hot key press events. If you know your ThinkPad model does not
352 need to do NVRAM polling to support any of the hot keys you use,
353 unselecting this option will save about 1kB of memory.
355 ThinkPads T40 and newer, R52 and newer, and X31 and newer are
356 unlikely to need NVRAM polling in their latest BIOS versions.
358 NVRAM polling can detect at most the following keys: ThinkPad/Access
359 IBM, Zoom, Switch Display (fn+F7), ThinkLight, Volume up/down/mute,
360 Brightness up/down, Display Expand (fn+F8), Hibernate (fn+F12).
362 If you are not sure, say Y here. The driver enables polling only if
363 it is strictly necessary to do so.

408 or a SCSI enclosure device (SES) to use these services.
411 tristate "Support communication between SGI SSIs"
412 depends on IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
413 select IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
414 select GENERIC_ALLOCATOR if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
416 An SGI machine can be divided into multiple Single System
417 Images which act independently of each other and have
418 hardware based memory protection from the others. Enabling
419 this feature will allow for direct communication between SSIs
420 based on a network adapter and DMA messaging.
