Re: [Thinstation-developer] Hardware Initialization routines / files

[Miles R. <mr...@xt...>]

it doesn't really detect hardware before thinstation.init.  all modules are loaded as part of the 
thinstation.init.  udev is called and filesystems get mounted, again part of thinstation.init.  note 
I'm talking about thinstation 2.2, mostly same in 2.1 (no udev though).

the base/etc/init.d/mdetect script detects mouse (although its not perfect, especially when it comes 
to usb mice).

x-common/etc/init.d/x.init script detects video hardware/xorg
