here's the deal

when i plug in my cheap usb gamepad, the following kernel modules are automatically loaded:
input,
hid,
keybdev,
mousedev.

in order to get it to work, i have to modprobe joydev...

is there anyway to set it so when i plug in the gamepad, just input, hid, and joydev are loaded?
thanks a lot...seeya

you should be able to, it is going to depend on the hotplug set-up of our distro. you should read their docs on how their hotplug stuff is set up.

if you neve want those extra module sloaded, then normally, you can add them to a blacklist file. on Gentoo the blacklist file is /etc/hotplug/blacklist.

the other hotplug stuff is all in /etc/hotplug directory as well - ir shoudl be if your distro uses standard file locations.
