might be of interest, too.

That explains why I could not find where modprobe -c gets the above from: it is build into the upgraded modutils!

The fix is
above hid usbcore

But I fail to comprehend why that fixes it, which is my problem ;-)

According to the way I understand it there is a wrong definition in
the modutils source for modprobe, ie.
|char *above[] =
|{
|        "hid keybdev mousedev",
|        "Usbmouse hid",
|        "wacom evdev",
|        NULL                    /* marks the end of the list! */
|};
which causes the hid module to demand preloading the keybdev module
which unfortunately doesn't exist on your system as you have it built
in the kernel. Not your fault, of course.

Setting a correct 'dependency' in your modules.conf overwrites this
definition thus making it work.

Cheers,
Flo
