The preferred way for those configurations is to +provide appropriate +.Em options +lines within the config file, possibly overriding the built-in default +values. Therefore it is possible to compile several distinct kernels +with different driver behaviour on a single machine. + +The following list gives a short overview of the available configuration +options. Refer to the file +.Pa i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_hdr.h +in the kernel source tree for detailed documentation. + +Note: the following conventions apply to all the Boolean options. +If an option is given with no value, a value of 1 +.Pq activated +is substituted. If an option value is given as 0, this options is +deactivated. Any other value is substituted by 1, too.

The mouse buttons are emulated by three normal +keys, by default the function keys +.Aq Em \&F1 , +.Aq Em \&F2 , +and +.Aq Em \&F3 . +There are two selectable flavors available: normal and +.Dq sticky +buttons. Normal buttons behave as expected. +.Dq Sticky +buttons are notified as button-press on the first keypress.
