how to load an specific module automatically

hi, I'm using debian etch and I have an ATI Radeon x1300, so recently I installed the fglrx driver for this card, after reboot my system the Xorg doesn´t load, but I found that this problem happens because the fglrx module isn´t loaded automatically , my question is:

Where I have to setup and put this module, fglrx, to has to be loaded every time I'm initialize debian etch?

thanks a lot

The place for that is putting the module name on a line by itself in the /etc/modules file but a video card module should really be getting loaded by X on its own without need for this step.

echo fglrx >> /etc/modules

That command should insert the module name on it's own line at the end of the /etc/modules files
