Driver not loading on startup

[AlanBStone]

I've installed the driver according to the instructions. Everything works great, however when I restart the system for any reason, the driver is not loaded at startup. I am forced to load it manually, then all is great again. I'm not exactly sure what is going on. Thanks.

I'm using the fork from rohitpid (https://github.com/rohitpid/Linux-Magic-Trackpad-2-Driver) to support Magic Mouse 2, but I have a similar issue after reboot or reconnecting the mouse. The module gets loaded, but I have to reload the module in order for scrolling to work. I can't figure out what the difference is though...

The module is loaded (after connecting the mouse), but scrolling does not work...

If I reload the module, it does work, i.e. if I

# rmmod hid_magicmouse
# modprobe hid_magicmouse

If anyone has any ideas what's causing this or how I can figure out what is different when the module is loaded automatically, please let me know :)

After a restart, I also need to do this

# rmmod hid_magicmouse
# modprobe hid_magicmouse

For some reasons, (perhaps the install did not work completely) I don't see the 90-magic file in:
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

I'm having the same issue with scrolling not working with the mouse after restarting computer.
Another question I have concerns the difference between insmod and modprobe (I see modprobe uses insmod). After removing hid_magicmouse
# sudo rmmod hid_magicmouse
why wont it work if I load it back with insmod?
# sudo insmod /lib/modules/5.3.0-61-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-magicmouse.ko

I see that it is loaded after using insmod but does not work like modprobe?

# lsmod | grep hid_magicmouse
hid_magicmouse         20480  0
hid                   126976  7 hidp,usbhid,hid_apple,hid_generic,hid_logitech_dj,hid_logitech_hidpp,hid_magicmouse

Any insight into this? I am looking through the modprobe documentation to see what the difference is. Cheers

I'm also having this issue with the magicmouse2 fork on archlinux. Everything seems to be fine when I reload the driver, but I can't get it to start on boot by putting it in /etc/modules.load.d.
