Hi, If I set these options using "make menuconfig": CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_FB_VESA=y CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS=y CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y And, I then unset CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED and CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS (the options that cause the CFB options and the FONT options to become accessible), I am left with these options: CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_FB_VESA=y CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y Perhaps this is not a big deal and the orphaned options are usused. I guess I would expect the orphaned options to simply not appear, as the unselected options in the same subsections are not written out.
