See this little gem, for instance: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55878 I suspect some distributions can get away with "load the right module" approach because their userbase is so small and technical that they do not hit these cases often. I think something needs fixing in hid. -- Pete
