Right (but in the long run you'd probably use one of the stable links 
under /dev/input/by_id).

Frankly, I have no idea. The basic answer for most (almost all?) users 
on this list is that the kernel loads whatever modules required for a 
specific hardware. Compiling in static modules is a special case - I 
don't know if it's even possible.

Furthermore, as you say, you have already asked this question on this 
list without any useful answer. IMHO, you should then try a 
kernel-specific forum (linux-media?) for this question unless someone 
else pops up on this list here and now.


Cheers!
