Description Matthias Schwarzott gentoo-dev 2007-03-13 09:18:26 UTC 
It is useful to have a list of modules that are blacklisted from being autoloaded by udev.

Attached is the blacklist debian installs with its udev package.
But I think such a file is better packaged to baselayout.

It needs to be placed inside /etc/modprobe.d/

Stop FB drivers from getting loaded

As addition it could also be useful to blacklist the framebuffer drivers, as that seems to lead often to unreadable consoles.

New blacklist file

After some discussion we decided to not add a default blacklist file, but only an empty one to let user add stuff to it.
It will be installed by udev.
