Hi there, |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I think you are confusing kernel configuration items and kernel modules. E.g., |
| 36 |
CONFIG_SPEAKUP is a kernel configuration item (see |
| 37 |
http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/SPEAKUP.html for its description). There are |
| 38 |
three possibilities for this item. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
n: don't include speakup support |
| 41 |
y: build speakup support directly into the kernel |
| 42 |
m: build speakup support as a module |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
In the third case, the module's name will be "speakup". This is the name that |
| 45 |
you want to add to /etc/conf.d/modules. |
