When I reboot a system with custom kernel, the system is autoloading evdev.ko, uhid.ko, and wmt.ko. I do not need nor what these modules loaded. How does one prevent this autoloading? Looking via the web lead to: = https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Devdev&apropos=3D0&sektion=3D4&= manpath=3DFreeBSD+12.0-RELEASE&arch=3Ddefault&format=3Dhtml So: NAME evdev - Generic Linux input driver SYNOPSIS Section "InputDevice" Identifier "devname" Driver "evdev" Option "Device" "devpath" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "True" Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50" Option "GrabDevice" "False" ... EndSection DESCRIPTION evdev is an Xorg input driver for Linux's generic event devices. = It therefore supports all input devices that the kernel knows = about, including most mice, keyboards, tablets and touchscreens. evdev is the default driver on the major Linux distributions. . . . but it seems to not have a 13-current entry. It does have a 12.0-RELEASE entry. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
