Changes compared to -1:
- Fixed path: /lib/pkgconfig -> /usr/lib/pkgconfig
- Rewrote load-modules.sh:
+ Fixes http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10972
This adds a new resolve-modalias binary, which resolves an alias
without resolving the dependencies (modprobe can't do that). If you
have a device which can be used by modules A and B, blacklisting A
will no longer result in B being blacklisted with it.
resolve-modalias has gcc-libs as a dependency, but gcc-libs is in
base anyway, so it shouldn't matter.
+ Adds more comprehensive messages to /var/log/everything.log
including a reason why a module hasn't been loaded.
+ If you want to disable a device completely, you can blacklist the
modalias to prevent all matching modules from being loaded.
This should make rc.conf blacklisting way more intuitive.
- Fixed 80-drivers.rules: This was horribly broken, as modprobe was
often called instead of load-modules.sh and thus blacklisting was
completely disabled in -1,
- Add only framebuffer drivers to the framebuffer blacklist, not random
modules containing the string 'fb'
Packages are available for i686 and x86_64 now, please sign off.
