For some peripherals I've found that modules really are the only way. I had all sorts of trouble getting joystick ports to work when compiled-in. The four drivers - joydev.o, gameport.o, ns558.o and analog.o - don't seem to initialise in the correct order. They work just fine as modules when inserted in the order I just gave. Normally I just compile in everything I need but I'm starting to lean towards using modules lately. Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/
