It is like Sven says. When you run modprobe, it will parse /etc/modprobe.conf and all files in /etc/modprobe.d/ ending with .conf It doesn't really matter how they are named. So you could have named fglrx.conf foo.conf, that wouldn't have made a difference. So, after dropping the blacklist, you can also drop "radeon" from /etc/modules. As already mentioned it will be autoloaded by udev. Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
