Mostly module questions


I've got a bunch of issues with my Linux from Scrach build that someone with more experience can probably help me with. As always, any help will be appreciated.

1) I'm adding modules at the moment. I've got a USB 2.0 non-intel system, so I need EHCI and OHCI. Now, I added ohci as a module (usb-ohci) and compiled and used it just fine, but ehci isn't listed in my "make menuconfig" menu. It's a fairly recent kernel (2.4.22) so it should be in there...

2) I can't seem to get ohci or hid modules to load during the bootup sequence. In fact, the bootup tries to load uhci.c, which is the intel-compatible usb 1.1 driver, which I took out of my kernel long ago. I tried "alias usb-controller usb-ohci" in my /etc/modules.conf, but that didn't do anything.

3) When my system first starts up, and before I manually load usb-ohci and hid with modprobe, my lsmod shows no modules loaded. This doesn't seem right. What am I missing? Of course, after I load the two modules, they are listed, as well as the things they depend on.

4) Not a module question, but out of curiosity.... I recently compiled XFree86 for the first time. I ran the config program to create the XF86Config.now in my root home, and tested it with "XFree86 -xf86config ~/XF86Config.new". Now, I got an X display, but my keyboard didn't work. I check the config file, and for some reason what should have been driver "Keyboard" was driver "keyboard". Changing the case of the first letter fixed the problem. This was set up by the config program. Why would it screw up like this?

A friend tells me I need to fiddle with the "Code maturity level options" setting to see experimental parts of the kernel, like ehci, so I guess that problem's solved...
