no need to do that... just add the modules you want to load into the file "/etc/modules" (no need for the insmod command) and the debian bootscripts will load them and their dependencies automagically. > insmod usb-ohci > insmod ac97 > insmod ac97_codec > insmod ac97_plugin_wm97xx > insmod sound > insmod i810_audio by the way, `man modprobe` is better than insmod. > /usr/X11R6/bin/startx hmm... are you running your system as the root user all the time? if so, SERIOUSLY consider installing a user for yourself and set up a graphical login, such as gdm. apt-get install gdm should do the trick (you may need to satisfy dependencies... so use aptitude) > However - sound and i810_audio don't get inserted.
