I've compiled both sound support and psaux as modules in my kernel and have enabled kerneld to (as I understand it) load them when needed.
And the sound module is getting loaded. If I use xaudio at a time when /sbin/lsmods says sound isn't installed the sound card works and a subsequent call to lsmods shows sound has been installed. But if I try to startx when psaux isn't installed the X server refuses to launch and complains of lack of a mouse. '/sbin/insmod psaux' works as expected, as does a subsequent call to startx. What's the difference between these modules that one loads automatically and the other doesn't? Can it be fixed?
