I find that parameter in /usr/src/linux/.config but I can't find it anywhere 
on the make xconfig screen. I believe it's just set to "yes" if you enable 
any input device, like a mouse. I am running 2.6.7 as well. So, if you have 
any doubts before you build, just grep for CONFIG_INPUT in .config. My bet is 
that it will be set to "yes" without you doing anything.
