Hi all,

I'm sure this question has a "Hey stupid it's right there!" type answer but if you could just amuse me I'd be most grateful. I've looked everywhere and cannot find this answer (even the oh-so-wonderful Google isn't helping). I have no idea where to go to have Fedora auto-load a module at startup. What I want is to get my Nvidia driver to load automatically when it boots. Just so you know, it works, I've got it installed and can run X just fine (even enemy-territory). I'm coming from Mandrake 9.1 and it was just putting the module in the modules file that made it happen in that distro. Is there something comparable in Fedora? Is there an autoexec.bat type file so to speak that I'm missing?

Anywho, like I said I realize this is a stupid question. I've RTFM'd everywhere though and can't seem to find anything that helps, so any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
americanLoki

I don't think you have to load that module, you just have to edit the file /etc/X11/XF86Config and under the Section for your video card where the old driver would be nv and change this to nvidia. Also make sure to comment out load dri

If you want some different modules installed on startup you place the command modprobe name-of-module in the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local

HTH

Thanks.

I did the XF86Config deal last night, that's why X works. As soon as I get home though (I'm at work now) I will try the rc.local file.

Again thank you,
