That's not true, I've worked hard enough on 2.5 config system, and especially on HIL, to deny such statement ;^)

These options are already in the Input Drivers section of 2.5 config
Check for Serial i/o support, then you'll get the HP HIL driver core support.

There are various dependencies on whether or not you enable the Mouse interface and other stuff, but all options are present.

AFAICR, I already have said when we merged 2.4 config files into 2.5 that HIL driver files and config may need review.

It looks like time has come for such review.

I would like to hear from Helge Deller too.
