Re: Little script for ISAPNP hotplug

[Simone Gotti <simone.gotti@email.it>]

Hi to All,

I've got various questions (and some people made me the same on the gentoo 
forums). 
I've noticed that a lot of people, like me, will be very happy if all of their 
modules will be autoloaded by hotplug.

I've noticed that for example the psmouse module doesn't export any 
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE.

Looking at /proc/bus/pnp there's this line:

0a PNP0f13 PS/2 port for PS/2-style mice

So I think that if we add a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE with this entry to psmouse.c 
this will be loaded by hotplug using my scripts. Is this the right way to do 
this thing? 

The same is for the PC Speaker (drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.c):
05 PNP0800 AT-style speaker sound

The Real Time Clock (rtc.c):
03 PNP0b00 AT real-time clock

I think that using my isapnp agent + rc, and a patch for these files will make 
at least the coldplugging work.
And If it works does a patch will be appreciated?

Bye!
