Re: bug in streamline_config.pl

OK, you just found a bug ;-)
You complained about CONFIG_DRM_RADEON being selected (that's ATI
Radean). Here's why:
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON select by dependency on HWMON
CONFIG_HWMON_VID selected by direct module hwmon_vid
You had hwmon_vid enabled. This module gets selected by other modules,
one being DRM_RADEON.
If a module is selected by other modules and does not have a prompt to
select itself, then I have to select the other modules because I don't
know what module is needed to make sure this module is selected (again,
I can add logic to see if the select is satisfied by the direct
selections).
But, (here's the bug) HWMON has a prompt! But it's a different kind of
prompt. It's a menuconfig option and not a config option. By making this
one-liner fix, I just removed the following options from your config:
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI=m
CONFIG_RFKILL=m
CONFIG_SFC=m
CONFIG_DRM=m
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
CONFIG_DRM_I915=m
CONFIG_FB_DDC=m
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA=m
CONFIG_FB_RIVA=m
CONFIG_FB_RADEON=m
CONFIG_FB_SAVAGE=m
CONFIG_FB_3DFX=m
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m
CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI=m
CONFIG_EEEPC_LAPTOP=m
I'll go ahead and make sure that this fix makes it into 2.6.37
