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 TABLET_USB_WACOM |
| 21 |
: tristate "Wacom Intuos/Graphire tablet support (USB)" |
| 22 |
: depends on USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD |
| 23 |
: select USB |
| 24 |
: help |
| 25 |
: Say Y here if you want to use the USB version of the Wacom |
| 26 |
: Intuos or Graphire tablet. Make sure to say Y to "Mouse support" |
| 27 |
: (CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV) and/or "Event interface support" |
| 28 |
: (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) as well. |

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