If I want multiple modules to load when a single device is accessed, what should I put in modules.conf? For example, when any char-major-13 device is accessed (anything in /dev/input), I want to load a bunch of modules. Here's what I'm using right now:

alias char-major-13 input
above input anothermodule1 anothermodule2 anothermodule3 etc

This way works, but it interferes with rmmod -a. I'm not sure why, but it seems to think they're still in use by something, when in reality they're unused and just taking up space. Is there a better way of doing it?

Depends on the module. :)
