I know this has probably asked a million times before... still, after reading docs and all, I'm confused by all the options one can use in modules.conf I'm using SuSE Pro 7.2 in Spanish. I can succesfully use my Microsoft USB Sidewinder Precision Joystick, but I have to manually load the appropiate modules. The same thing with my Winbond sensor chip. I'd like this to happen automatically when the correspondign /dev files are accesed. I tried with alias char-major-13 input below input joydev sidewinder then running depmod -a, but it doesn't work. And I have no idea how to set modules.conf for automatic loading of the i2c-core, i2c-isa, i2c-proc and w83781d modules for my Winbond sensor chip. Can someone lend a hand here? Thanks. Oscar Ross
