OK, well how can I do that? I do have hotplug installed. I looked in the three files you mention for both xfs and jfs, but I only see one mention for XFS in /var/log/messages: ...

It wasn't, so I loaded it and X doesn't complain anymore. I guess I can add apm_emu to /etc/modules to get that loaded on each boot. Thanks, Frank
