The drivers get struct gameport but the gameport_register_port and gameport_unregister_port functions are no-op when INPUT_GAMEPORT is not selected, see linux/gameport.h. Vojtech Pavlik and I went round this loop several times between 2.4.5-ac4 and 2.4.5-ac17, you can definitely build those sound drivers without gameport. The rule is :- If INPUT_GAMEPORT is selected *and* one of the drivers that uses gameport is built in then INPUT_GAMEPORT must also be built in. Otherwise there is no restriction on INPUT_GAMEPORT. _______________________________________________ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
