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,
21 22
  or any other HID input device. You also need "Input core support", 
  (CONFIG_INPUT), which you select under "Input device support", above.

  below for a list of supported devices.
  See Documentation/input/ff.txt for a description of the force feedback API.

  If unsure, say N.

CONFIG_LOGITECH_FF
  Say Y here if you have one of these devices:
  - Logitech WingMan Cordless RumblePad
  - Logitech WingMan Force 3D
  and if you want to enable force feedback for them.
  Note: if you say N here, this device will still be supported, but without
  force feedback.

  device.

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 is mostly
  useful for embedded applications or simple keyboards.

CONFIG_USB_POWERMATE
  Say Y here if you want to use  Griffin PowerMate or Contour Jog devices.
  These are stainless steel dials which can measure clockwise and
  anticlockwise rotation. The dial also acts as a pushbutton. The base
  contains an LED which can be instructed to pulse or to switch to a
  particular intensity.
