Is there real users that are broken? It looks like most distros either have mousedev and evdev compiled in or load them unconditionally. So the simpliest is just probably get MODALIAS stuff in 2.6.16 and that's it. It's not like swbit is new in 2.6.15, it was there since 2.6.14 was opened. -- Dmitry - 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/
