Hmmm. Well I physically removed the lib/modules/2.6.6 directory each time I recompiled.... does this do the same thing?I'm compiling a custom kernel 2.6.6 on my Toshiba laptop. One of the things I've noticed is that it keeps loading the intel_agp and the agpart modules. Now in the kernel, I specified to not compile agpart module. however it loads.To me, that looks like you forgot to move the old module directory out of the way when you installed the kernel (set a different EXTRAVERSION, use kernel-package).
How do I check whether hotplug of discover is loading the driver? Xfree is configured to use Nvidia.Only thing is I don't want it to load cause I want to use nvidia's agp modules. (I simply renamed the modules so they can't load but the errors on startup annoy me). Is there a file somewhere where it specifies what modules load?Try to put an "#" in front of this line: /etc/modprobe.d/aliases:alias char-major-10-175 agpgart See if maybe hotplug or discover load the driver. Make sure your XFree is configured to use the nvidia agp driver. See the readme that is in the nvidia-glx package.
In addition, I was trying to locate my sound drivers (I had it compile all the modules for sound and the sound worked). Unfortunately I mistakenly removed it and then put it back but now when I run xmms i get a libmikmod.so.2 not found... Any ideas?That has nothing to do with sound. It is a known bug that you get when you use xmms with the nvidia driver installed. Install the libmikmod2 package.
Thanx for the info! Paul
