How to load Nvidia module at startup?
I upgraded my video card and drivers using 'nvidia-installer --update'. When I changed to the graphical runlevel everything worked perfectly.
But when rebooting X won't come up. I got the error line "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!". After manually insmodding the module X works ok. I checked the Nvidia FAQ and found the problem I had. The advice they give is : Make sure the line "alias char-major-195 nvidia" appears in your module configuration file. But the contents of /etc/modules.conf on my computer seems correct (I don't know much about modules): probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi probeall usb-interface usb-uhci alias eth0 8139too above snd-via82xx snd-pcm-oss alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx alias char-major-195 nvidia Now I don't know how to proceed, because the module doesn't load. My system does work, if I first insmod the nvidia module before I start up X, but this is hardly workable. It did work ok with my old videocard (also Nvidia). Any clues? |
What distro?
