Most likely, you need to add the line Option "ForcePCIMode" "Yes" to the Driver section of XF86Config-4. > i noticed that 2.6 loads every kernel module known to man. i would > assume they are coming out of the initrd.img file (which is now > being used-found that out the rough way) You did get a warning when you installed, didn't you? > i dont know if they chewing up memory. i suppose i need to rebuild > the initrd.img This is alright, most drivers that were previously built into the kernel are now built as modules. If you want a slightly smaller initrd, put MODULES=dep in /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf. Regards, Jens. -- J'qbpbe, le m'en fquz pe j'qbpbe! Le veux aimeb et mqubib panz je pézqbpbe je djuz tqtaj!
