A similar argument can be made for any particular feature or device that just works when the functionality is enabled :) > Why exactly do you need it set to "No"? It is not a need. I simply observed that after the IR_ to RC_ rename there was another set of drivers being built which I did not ask for. It struck me as odd that because basic keyboard/mouse support was enabled I also got support for DTV card remote controls. I don't think there are any other driver subsystems enabling themselves based on something as generic as INPUT (as a dependency it is just fine, obviously). Overall, it just seems like the wrong setting to me. Is there another predicate available that makes a bit more sense for RC_CORE other than INPUT? Something related to the TV or DTV cards perhaps?
