Load module?
 
Hello,

I'm running Archlinux. I used pacman(update/package manager) to download video drivers for my card, which was xf86-video-cirrus. Everything went well. Now I want to load the module/drivers.
lsmod returns list of loaded modules but the graphics isn't one of them.


How can I load the drivers that I downloaded?

Have you tried startx?
If the installation went well, it should load everything needed and you just have to

startx
.
If there is anything wrong you should find it it the log (I usually do a

grep EE Xorg.0.log
to check)

yes bro, startx doesn't work. That's why I'm trying to load my graphic card driver. The error of startx says x already running. When I kill and start again it says Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running. (which it's not)

Can someone please tell me how to load module/driver for cirrus video cards. I've downloaded it via pacman!
