Note: I'm not the original poster, but I have a Slackware 9.1 (2.4.22 kernel) so I did the test and found that your advice appears to be "on-target". I get this: $ modprobe -C /dev/null -c | grep keybdev above hid keybdev mousedev > > 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. FWIW, for 'modutils' version, my system reports this: $ modprobe -V modprobe version 2.4.25 Bill Marr ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
