My issue is that the "Logitech devices" option in the "Special HID drivers" is not visible.

My kernel config: http://0x0.st/PSjz.txt



How can I enable it?

Thanks

From the Kconfig file

Code: Select all

config HID_LOGITECH_DJ
    tristate "Logitech receivers full support"
    depends on USB_HID
    depends on HIDRAW
    depends on HID_LOGITECH
    select HID_LOGITECH_HIDPP

So, you need USB_HID, HIDRAW and HID_LOGITECH set.

[Hu]

Per

Code: Select all

config HID_LOGITECH
	tristate "Logitech devices"
	depends on USB_HID
	depends on LEDS_CLASS

Your Kconfig does not have LEDS_CLASS.

Per

Code: Select all

if NEW_LEDS

config LEDS_CLASS

Your Kconfig has NEW_LEDS is not set.

Therefore:

• Enable NEW_LEDS.
• Enable LEDS_CLASS.
• Now you can enable HID_LOGITECH.

Spot on. Thanks a lot Hu.

Thanks, Hu, it's been a while since I built my kernel and had forgotten about setting LEDS_CLASS.

For future reference, if you cannot find an option, the z key in menuconfig unhides options that are blocked due to dependencies.
