Have you read the manual page for modprobe.conf? That will tell you |
9 |
all the relevant options and their syntax, etc. /etc/modprobe.conf is |
10 |
generated from the files in /etc/modules.d by update-modules. modinfo |
11 |
can tell you what options can be set for any given kernel module. |

You can do, but now you need to enable the option for tablet input |
17 |
devices first. That will then let the configuration list the tablet |
18 |
devices available. |

: (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) as well. |

I would expect udev to handle the module loading for this. That's the |
39 |
normal way anyway. |
