Seems that I also have to kill the Load "extmod" line, as the SubSection does it
for me, and it'd load twice otherwise.

It worked. I can live without screensavers, seeing as how I had nothing working

fixed? Is this a problem in other distros? (I'm going to go install redhat and
test this) Is there any other way to fix this?
