okay.
[root@kindle root]# what
Kindle 5!

[root@kindle root]# depmod --help

depmod 3.2.2 -- part of module-init-tools
depmod -[aA] [-n -e -v -q -V -r -u]
[-b basedirectory] [forced_version]
depmod [-n -e -v -q -r -u] [-F kernelsyms] module1.o module2.o ...
If no arguments (except options) are given, "depmod -a" is assumed

depmod will output a dependancy list suitable for the modprobe utility.


Options:
-a, --all Probe all modules
-n, --show Write the dependency file on stdout only
-V, --version Print the release version
-h, --help Print this usage message

The following options are useful for people managing distributions:
-b basedirectory
--basedir basedirectory Use an image of a module tree.
-F kernelsyms
--filesyms kernelsyms Use the file instead of the
current kernel symbols.

So depmod is there
[root@kindle root]# which depmod

/sbin/depmod

Will shove this usb module on the list of stuff "to do".

(after we get the general dithering targets completed for X)

Ok.
I will try to compile the kernel itself. I read the manuals. I need still scsi_mod.ko.

I suspect that it is built-in.
If you grep'd the kernel's symbol table you would probably find it.
The Kindles use very old kernel versions that do not report on modules that are already built-in.

[root@kindle root]# /usr/libexec/scsi_id

Usage: scsi_id OPTIONS <device>
--device= device node for SG_IO commands
--config= location of config file
--page=0x80|0x83|pre-spc3-83 SCSI page (0x80, 0x83, pre-spc3-83)
--sg-version=3|4 use SGv3 or SGv4
--blacklisted threat device as blacklisted
--whitelisted threat device as whitelisted
--replace-whitespace replace all whitespaces by underscores
--verbose verbose logging
--version print version
--export print values as environment keys
--help print this help text

okay. I noted this utility FWIW. will add to pile.

I think that utility is from back in the days when only SCSI physical interface devices where known as: scsi to Linux.
(v-2.2 .. v-2.5.something kernels)

I don't think it will be of any use or of very limited use on a machine that only has "virtual scsi" devices.

[twobob]

AH right.

you d man

[khseal]

I'm create super china storage for debian. It is usb adaptor and microSD 8gb.
Supply current 40-50ma. When rmmod ehci-hcd supply current 0-1ma.
How to run rmmod ehci-hcd when the screensaver? And when you turn off the screensaver run moprobe ehci-hcd?

[hawhill]

I think you could plug into the LIPC stack and wait for the screensaver events.

This command will block script until screensaver will be enabled:

lipc-wait-event com.lab126.powerd goingToScreenSaver

This command will block script until screensaver will be disabled:

lipc-wait-event com.lab126.powerd outOfScreenSaver

Here is a script (replace echo with modprobe/rmmod):

lipc-wait-event -m com.lab126.powerd goingToScreenSaver,outOfScreenSaver |  while read event wtf_num; do
  if [ "x$event" = "xgoingToScreenSaver" ]; then
    echo "screensaver enabled"
  else if [ "x$event" = "xoutOfScreenSaver" ]; then
    echo "screensaver disabled"
  fi; fi
done

Thank you very much in the evening check script.
I have a problem. I do not know where to put this script. I'm noob(

[khseal]

I looked at the current in sleep mode. After a few minutes sleep, Flash drive also goes to sleep. Additional scripts were not needed.
Post the modules to support USB storage mass.
I will try to assemble modules for OTG. But I do not have cable for OTG.

[twobob]

Excellent work. any chance of some part numbers and pinouts. I think i will give this one a go!
