Ah, we were hoping to use it like follows: Four modules foo1, foo2, foo3, foo4 match the same hardware. All of them are blacklisted, and to select the used driver an alias is used: alias foo foo3 and then when a program (X server) runs "modprobe foo" the aliased one will be loaded. Is there a suggested simple way to do that? If not, I'm sure we'll find another solution :) -- Anssi Hannula -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-modules" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
