I have a SONY-Z505S laptop, running a newly updated linux-2.4.4--I've
been trying to get USB to work (as modules) and am having only partial
success.  I built the kernel with the INPUT/USB options shown below,
and added the following to my /etc/modules.conf file:

alias usb uhci
pre-install usb modprobe -k mousedev
pre-install mousedev modprobe -k hid
alias char-major-13 usb

and created a /dev/input/mice node (with mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63).  

This works for a logitech mouse if I'm root.  However, as a regular
user it fails, basically because the pre-install steps (I've tried
post-install's also) can't run modprobe.

I'm also having no success at getting the /proc/bus/usb filesystem to
automatically install, although I can get it to work manually with
mount.

Finally, I don't subscribe to this list and would appricate a copy of
any response.

Thanks in advance.
