I recently ran an apt-get dist-upgrade (debian testing) on a 2.4.22
kernel and one of the things upgraded was hotplug.
Now when I boot, my usbmouse won't load as apparently kerbdev & hid
weren't found..
a simple insmod usbmouse got it going again.
problem is that if i compile my 2.4.22 kernel with HID the mouse doesn't
work at all.. never..
so I think the solution is to downgrade hotplug but I have no idea how,
using apt-get.
from my reading I am pretty sure I have figured out how to hold the
version of program xyz so that it doesn't get upgraded, which'll be
handy when I have downgraded hotplug, but not much use at the moment...!
as an alternative, is there a way I can force usbmouse to be insmod'd
regardles of lack of hid &/or keybdev?
cheers,
smerk
and yes i know that apt-get problem is not a good idea!
