CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE: MDA text console (dual-headed)

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE has multiple definitions:

MDA text console (dual-headed) found in drivers/video/console/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE:

Help text

Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the normal VGA driver will handle it.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called mdacon.

If unsure, say N.

This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be inserted and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The module will be called mdacon.o. If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt.
