USB boot question

[clutch 1]

I managed to get Debian installed on a workstation at home, but my USB mouse doesn't work unless I run

 

modprobe hid

 

and then

 

modprobe mousedev

 

then it works fine. So, how do I get it to do this auto-magically at boot time by itself?

 

I am running Woody 2.4. Thanks.

put mousedev and hid in the /etc/modules file in this order

 

hid

mousedev

 

 

 

should be good to go.

 

the /etc/modules file is where all modules go if you want them autoloaded at boot

*note the above is only for debian...

manifest

Thanks a ton bud, that was stupidly simple.
