Recent versions of modutils have "above hid keybdev mousedev" builtin. You can override this by an explicit "above hid null" in modules.conf. Use "/sbin/modprobe -C /dev/null -c" to see what builtin definitions are in your modutils version (many distributions have patches which change these definitions). > Also, I have the same 2.4.22 on another system and hid.o loads fine > WITHOUT keybdev.o or mouedev.o being loaded. Probably this system has older modutils. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
