Hello!

I'm using Linux-2.4.4-ac4, but this problem is not new. The "hid" module
has 0 use count in the output of /sbin/lsmod despite the fact that I'm
using a USB mouse (mousedev driver).

I can even remove "hid" by running "modprobe -r hid", and the mouse stops
working. I can even do it when I'm using a USB keyboard - then I'm out of
luck unless I can login remotely.

I don't see any benefit from the ability to remove "hid" unless I want to
debug it, but for that purpose there are preprocessor directives.

On the other hand, I cannot clean up unused modules unless I make an
exception for "hid". The reason for this exception remains unclear to me.

This is the output from my /sbin/lsmod

Module                  Size  Used by
mousedev                3936   2 (autoclean)
keybdev                 1696   0 (autoclean) (unused)
hid                    11472   0 (autoclean) (unused)
input                   3328   0 (autoclean) [mousedev keybdev hid]

Relevant part of /etc/modules.conf:

alias usb-controller uhci
above input hid
above hid mousedev keybdev
above usbcore usb-controller

I just found that even running "modprobe -r keybdev" in this situation
would unload "hid" and kill the mouse.
