Did you verify that you can't use it? If "mousedev" is statically linked into your kernel, you should be able to use it already. I often get that message when I connect a USB mouse; it's still usable So far as I know, there's no standard way for the hotplug scripts to tell when the reason a module can't be loaded is that it's been statically linked. "lsmod" only shows the dynamically linked modules, not the statically linked ones, and "modprobe" fails when it can't be dynamically linked, even if the module is already statically linked. - Dave _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
