why hotplug want to load, i dont know, but i checked my kernel
(2.6.8.1) and there these options are available.
But for my video i use kernel 2.4 and in this documentation i found:
- Make sure that your kernel has enabled: 

    Video4Linux Support (CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV)
      needed by cards with integrated MPEG decoder to display
      video on screen
 
    Input Core Support (CONFIG_INPUT)
      Event Device Support (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV)
      needed by the DVB remote control driver

I'm not sure if this is required for kernel 2.6 too.
Maybe you should set these options manual in your .config file and
then start menuconfig or what u want and check it.
I think it is under Device Driver -> Input device support.

But of the reason that my video is temporaily not working i cannot
check it.

Hope this help a little
