+CONFIG_USB_HID
+ Say Y here if you want full HID support to connect keyboards,
+ mice, joysticks, graphic tablets, or any other HID based devices
+ to your computer via USB. You also need to select HID Input layer
+ support (below) if you want to use keyboards, mice, joysticks and
+ the like.
+
+ You can't use this driver and the HIDBP (Boot Protocol) keyboard
+ and mouse drivers at the same time. More information is available:
+ <file:Documentation/input/input.txt>.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
+
+ This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called hid.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT
+ Say Y here if you want to use a USB keyboard, mouse or joystick,
+ or any other HID input device. You also need Input layer support,
+ (CONFIG_INPUT) which you select under "Input core support".
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
+
+CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV
+ Say Y here if you want to support HID devices (from the USB
+ specification standpoint) that aren't strictly user interface
+ devices, like monitor controls and Uninterruptable Power Supplies.
+
+ This module supports these devices separately using a separate
+ event interface on /dev/usb/hiddevX (char 180:96 to 180:111).
+ This driver requires CONFIG_USB_HID.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
+
+CONFIG_USB_KBD
+ Say Y here only if you are absolutely sure that you don't want
+ to use the generic HID driver for your USB keyboard and prefer
+ to use the keyboard in its limited Boot Protocol mode instead.
+
+ This is almost certainly not what you want.
+
+ This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called usbkbd.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+ If even remotely unsure, say N.
+
+CONFIG_USB_MOUSE
+ Say Y here only if you are absolutely sure that you don't want
+ to use the generic HID driver for your USB keyboard and prefer
+ to use the keyboard in its limited Boot Protocol mode instead.
+
+ This is almost certainly not what you want.
+
+ This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called usbmouse.o. If you want to compile it as
+ a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+ If even remotely unsure, say N.
+
+CONFIG_USB_WACOM
+ Say Y here if you want to use the USB version of the Wacom Intuos
+ or Graphire tablet. Make sure to say Y to "Mouse support"
+ (CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV) and/or "Event interface support"
+ (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) as well.
+
+ This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called wacom.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
