RE: another mouse question!!
As root, run "modconf" and activate the modules you want to have started
at boot time.

hi everyone,
um, tried to send this before but not sure if I did (brave new world of
X windows!)
thank you to everyone for all of your help! the problem sdeems to have
been that the hib driver was not loaded. so I loaded it manually, and
voila, herre I am in gnome! thanks esp. to nate and dman, well, and
actually everyone.
so one last (ha!) question: how do I get kernel modules to load at boot
time? every source I've consulted has told me something different and I
don't think I've located the right files yet. once this is set up I'll
be ready to go (wekll, maybe maybe not...).
I love debian. It _kills red hat for speed...
