Problem with driver, how can I fix it???


Hello,

I have a touch screen device connected to my embedded system.

After insert driver in kernel and compile, I start up new kernel but I have seen something that I do not understand.

As you can see, for the same device, there are two drivers that system load.

Could some body how can I disable load first module and load only tsusbhid??? Where can I disable input device???

Best regards

I believe that one driver is just for allowing the kernel to read/write to the device. The HID (Human Interface Device) driver tells the kernel that the device might be used by an application for interaction between the application and the operator (stdin for example).

If I'm right then it would be similar to having two drivers for other USB devices. A USB sound card would have a USB driver and a sound driver. A USB disk drive would have a USB driver and a mass storage driver and a file system driver.

Or I could be completely and utterly wrong.
