20 I bet it showed up but you missed it. I did my update yesterday and was
21 prompted. I had to hit the ? to see what it was for and if it applied
22 to me tho. This is what I got when I hit the?:
23
24 * HID support
25 *
26 HID bus support (HID) [Y/?] y
27 /dev/hidraw raw HID device support (HIDRAW) [Y/n/?] y
28 Generic HID driver (HID_GENERIC) [Y/n/m/?] (NEW) ?
29
30 CONFIG_HID_GENERIC:
31
32 Support for generic devices on the HID bus. This includes most
33 keyboards and mice, joysticks, tablets and digitizers.
34
35 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
36 will be called hid-generic.
37
38 If unsure, say Y.
39
40 Symbol: HID_GENERIC [=y]
41 Type : tristate
42 Prompt: Generic HID driver
43 Defined at drivers/hid/Kconfig:56
44 Depends on: INPUT [=y] && HID [=y]
45 Location:
46 -> Device Drivers
47 -> HID support
48 -> HID bus support (HID [=y])
49
50
51
52 Generic HID driver (HID_GENERIC) [Y/n/m/?] (NEW) y
53
54 99 times out of a 100 you can ignore new stuff but this was one of those
55 1 out of a 100.
