Subject: Cannot select module when two modules have prefix >= 15 chars.
X-Mailer: VM 6.72 under 21.1 (patch 8) "Bryce Canyon" XEmacs Lucid
Package: modconf
Version: 0.2.26.14
Severity: wishlist
Linux peter 2.2.14 #1 SMP Mon May 8 09:49:28 MDT 2000 i586 unknown
I installed alsa-driver. There are two drivers in there that have very
long identical prefixes (17 characters):
bash-2.04$ ls /lib/modules/2.2.14/sound/snd-card-opt*
/lib/modules/2.2.14/sound/snd-card-opti92x-ad1848.o
/lib/modules/2.2.14/sound/snd-card-opti92x-cs4231.o
/lib/modules/2.2.14/sound/snd-card-opti93x.o
bash-2.04$
When using modconf and whiptail, I found out whiptail creates
two columns from the tag and titles of all the menu options. It makes
the first column equal to the longest of the tags.
There must be a space at the beginning of the title (or whiptail does
not work). However one can see that if two menu items have the same
prefix then the tag will allow both names (by glob) to be passed to
the modprobe.
I have no solution of course. I thought you might use the first column
for tag and title and the second column only for + or -. Then you
would have to snip off the comment from the tag returned by
whiptail. Or else whiptail might be improved.
Ciao, Peter Muir
Attached: My patch simply removes the truncation of the tag. I also
shorten one of the messages because it gets chopped off.
