It's under discussion there and saved me. > Yes, and I am still unclear what is required to insure that an appropriate module is loaded for a normal laptop/desktop. I already include 'keyboard' in HOOKS -- is that all that is needed or are there additional specific modules that need to be probed? Does HOOKS=".. keyboard.." insure the atkbd module will be loaded/probed? I vote for a solution that insures a keyboard is always probed/detected/provided if one exists whether that is shipping a modules-load.d fragment or leaving it built-in. From the discussion, a manual probing seems like a bad answer. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
