That will tell you all the relevant options and their syntax, etc. /etc/modprobe.conf is generated from the files in /etc/modules.d by update-modules. modinfo can tell you what options can be set for any given kernel module. > E.g. in kernel 2.6.22 there is no more an option to select > a USB-WACOM tablet input. You can do, but now you need to enable the option for tablet input devices first. That will then let the configuration list the tablet devices available. : config TABLET_USB_WACOM : tristate "Wacom Intuos/Graphire tablet support (USB)" : depends on USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD : select USB : help : Say Y here if you want to use the USB version of the Wacom : Intuos or Graphire tablet. Make sure to say Y to "Mouse support" : (CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV) and/or "Event interface support" : (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) as well. : : To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the : module will be called wacom. > I've built the kernel module from the linuxwacom project, > but what's the right way to load the module. > (I could do an explicit insmod in /etc/conf.d/local.start > but that's not the canonical solution, isn't it.) I would expect udev to handle the module loading for this. That's the normal way anyway. -- Ian. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
