Thanks for the info, but at my system there is no parameters folder for
the module I want to check. To be specific, I use lirc (which is still
outside of the kernel) and load the required modules during boot up. I
use baselayout-2 and set the option inside /etc/conf.d/modules:

module_lirc_imon_args="pad2keys_active=1"

Now I want to see, if this option is really set, because my remote is
not working good (have to press a button a few times before something
happens).

I have to load 2 modules for lirc: lirc_dev (general module) and
lirc_imon (my remote). For lirc_dev, there is a parameters dir, but not
for lirc_imon.

I think I have to ask the lirc maintainer for help.

Thanks anyway.
