Post subject:  Blacklist hid_topseed not working

I have a sapphire remote http://rtr.ca/sapphire_remote/ and was pleased to see LinHES has a package and module for it. Great remote by the way.

To make it work the system needs to blacklist hid_topseed so that sapphire.ko will load. When I intalled LinHES 7.3 the sapphire module seemed to load fine, so I assume blacklisting was working.

However I have updated to 7.4 and now it is not. hid_topseed loads on boot, and the remote doesn't work well. The file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-hid_topseed.conf seems to be right:

Code:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-hid_topseed.conf
## hid_topseed Conflicts with sapphire driver
blacklist hid_topseed


I have temporarily solved this by /sbin/modprobe -r hid_topseed followed by /sbin/modprobe sapphire in /etc/rc.local, but I would love to figure out what went wrong and how I can fix it. I have read that if the module is in the initramfs then blacklisting won't work, but I am unsure if this is relevant because I don't know how to check what is in the initramfs.
