depmod does not load modules. It just creates some sort of database of which modules are present (and where they are IIRC). > Recently I installed a Geforce4 MX440 board.

On You can run "modprobe NVdriver" (or insmod) from anywhere, as long as the module is in /lib/modules/$YOUR_KERNEL/, and you ran "depmod -a" after the installtion of it. > bootup, however, the driver module is not installed and xdm fails. > > I would appreciate a little coaching to straighten this out. You may want to try adding NVdriver to /etc/modules. -- Matthias Hentges [www.hentges.net] -> PGP + HTML are welcome ICQ: 97 26 97 4 -> No files, no URLs My OS: Debian Woody: Geek by Nature, Linux by Choice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
