keyboard and mouse driver module and lsmod in 2.6

keyboard and mouse driver module and lsmod in 2.6

[sting sting]

Hello ,
In 2.4, when you performed lsmod after boot (and after entering  X Windows)
, if you had performed lsmod you had found that "keybdev" and "mousedev"  
modules
are loaded in momeory.

in 2.4, the  keybdev.c was under
/linux-2.4-xxx/drivers/input/keybdev.c

Now, in 2.6 ,there is no keybdev.c and I assume there is also no keybdev.o 
(am I right?
I am not sure).
On the other hand there is both /drivers/char/keyboard.c
in 2.6 and 2.4 .

My question is :
in 2.6, after boot and after starting x windows, when typing lsmod -
what should be the parallel of keybdev.o ?

(I don't have in my 2.6, under /lib/modules/..., keybdev.o ; was I wrong
in my configuration?)

even that I have no keybdev.o in my 2.6, ye the keyboard responds (at least
for some minutes in the beginning).
Or in 2.6 the keyboard driver is part of the kernel?).

and also - what is the parallel of mousedev.o ?
I ***DO**** have mosedev.o under /drivers/input/mosedev.o but ***NOT*** 
under
the /lib/modules/2.6.0./.....

and also lsmod does not show mousedv.

regards,
sting

In 2.6 keybdev.c is gone and it's functionality was put into keyboard.c

mousedev on the other hand is still present in 2.6. Maybe you just did
not enable it.
