you do dislike i2c again :-)

( the patch removes ((again)) i2c/Config.in from drivers/char/Config.in)

and a small "fix" for input.agent in case kernel is started
with dumbcon=x but input configuration is done for n > x
(see the second hunk of the diff )

best,

svetljo

PS.
attached also my current input.agent & input configuration
but it's not yet tested under 2.4 (recompiling your latest patch right now)

brain dead pcspkr in 2.6.0...

[Kirk R. <ki...@br...>]

I wondered if someone might be able to tell me why the pcspkr routine
has not been fixed in the 2.6.0-testxx kernels?  If you're not sure
what I'm talking about on any of the systems I'vee tried a bell tone
or any other tone produced by that routine does not shut off after
starting.  I use that routine fairly heavily to produce audio feedback
for blind users but currently cannot even build it into the kernel.

Out of curiosity why was it changed in the first place?  It isn't
really an input routine is it?

I will fix it if someone else has not but I thought maybe someone has
already done a patch which just hasn't made it into the kernel tree
yet.

  Kirk
