Hello. I have just compiled a 2.2.18 kernel w/crypto modules, and am now trying to get USB working. I have dug around on the debian site, and various other sites, trying to find an answer as to why I can't install the input.o module. Apparently I've done something wrong, but am at a loss. The current output of lsmod looks like this:

Am I missing something obvious? Nowhere is mention made of parameters to be passed to the input.o module in modconf. Thanks in advance, -- Mike Pfleger There's seventy brilliant people on earth.
