From 13ae66458971b4967350765a8bfaf2a636442e5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Antonino A. Daplas" Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 00:27:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] VT binding: Make VT binding a Kconfig option To enable this feature, CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING must be set to 'y'. This feature will default to 'n' to minimize users accidentally corrupting their virtual terminals.
