If you also want some driver to load wirth some options, add them in /etc/modules.conf as: options NVdriver agp_try_unsupported=1 If you dont want to load all the drivers at boot time, you can have you kernel to auto-load them when you access the device for the first time. It is done based in major-minor numbers of the devices, so as "when anything tries to access device with major number XX (which I know is a scsi card) load this module: xxxxx". For the nVidia drivers, that "magic numbber" is 195. So add in your /etc/modules.conf a line such as: alias char-major-195 NVdriver Hope this helps you...
