In that case you get the HID driver, but you won't get the Input binding, so the devices will be detected, but won't be accessible by the common means (keyboard through console, mouse via /dev/input/mice, etc.). They still will be accessible via HIDDEV, if you enable that. Enabling HID without either HIDINPUT or HIDDEV is pointless. -- Vojtech Pavlik SuSE Labs, SuSE CR - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
