Ok, I found the problem I was having with GPM after updating to the 2.4
kernel. The problem is I'm using a USB mouse and the mouse driver
(mousedev.o) is not loaded by the time GPM starts. Thus the mouse doesn't
work. It's also the reason why I had problems with X as well saying it
didn't see the mouse driver even though a cat of /proc/bus/usb/devices
showed it.

This even happens with the hotplugging tools installed in /sbin/hotplug as
there is no driver for the mouse for some reason. DOH! I need to look into
it further.

Anyway, so now the task comes, how do I get the hid, input, and mouse
drivers loaded before GPM starts? When does the /etc/modules.conf file do
things? What about /etc/modules? Should I just add them there?

What is the best way to tackle this problem?
