relation of /etc/modules and /etc/modules.conf
What is the relation of /etc/modules to /etc/modules.conf?
Which runs first?
Do options in modules.conf get picked up by the modules specified in
/etc/modules?
Do they get picked up even if the line in /etc/modules specifies some
options?
Do modules listed in /etc/modules get loaded by modprobe (which
according to the docs uses modules.conf) or insmod?
Finally, am I right that /etc/modules is Debian-specific?
I ask these questions because I'm having trouble getting my ALSA sound
driver to load properly. It doesn't work on startup, but if I
manually disable KDE sound, unload drivers, load drivers, enable
sound, load volumes, then it works. I also sometimes see the message
that the sound drivers are already loaded at startup. So I'm
following a hunch that my modules settings are part of the problem.
Thanks for any help.
