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,
