Petition against kernel configuration options madness...
Then perhaps the internal speaker could be moved...

It took me about an hour to find out why my keyboard didn't work in 2.5.45. Well... after all it seemed that I need to enable 4 ! options inside the input configuration, just to get my default, nothing special PS/2 keyboard up and running. Oh, and I didn't even have my not so fancy boring default PS/2 mouse configured then. Guys, being able to configure everything is nice, but with the 2.5 kernel, things are definitely getting out of control IMHO.
This is potentially becoming a FAQ... I ran into this too, as did several people in the office. People who compile custom kernels seem to run into this when they first jump into 2.5.x. AT Keyboard support is definitely buried :/

Unfortunately I don't have any concrete suggestions for Vojtech (input subsystem maintainer), just a request that it becomes easier and more obvious how to configure the keyboard and mouse that is found on > 90% of all Linux users computers [IMO]...
Too bad you don't have any suggestions. I completely agree this should be simplified, while I wouldn't be happy to lose the possibility of not compiling AT keyboard support in.
