            Bug ID: 202735
           Summary: CONFIG_DRM_TTM does not have name in Kconfig, so it is
                    invisble for menuconfig
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: latest
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: P1
         Component: Video(DRI - non Intel)
          Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: kazakevichilya@gmail.com
        Regression: No

CONFIG_DRM_TTM is used by many DRM drivers. It is now does not have name in
Kconfig, so it only could be autoselected by other drivers. User can't select
it with "menu menuconfig"

Virtualbox driver (vboxvideo) uses it, so when I compile new kernel I can't
enable this option unless I enable any other driver that I do not need.

I suggest to give it a  name, for example "GPU TTM".

I can create patch for that:)

Sounds rather like vboxvideo needs to autoselect TTM as well.

Virtualbox is not part of Linux source tree. 
Threre is an .iso file for each VBox version that contains sources and script
to compile it against your kernel

Arguably not a bug in kernel.

Not a bug at all. I'd call it "usability problem")

User can't enable TTM (which is required for virtualbox) unless she enables
some redundant driver.
