Or you can create a file in /etc/modprobe.d. You should probably take a look at the modprobe.conf man page. > I want to append something like this: > video=intelfb:mode=800x600-32@75,accel,hwcursor,vram=8 > Or in a modprobe line: modprobe intelfb mode=800x600-32@75 vram=8 > accel=1 hwcursor=1 > Source: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/fb/intelfb.txt > > And something i just noticed..

One thing to keep in mind is that the module is not going to get loaded until the root file system gets mounted. If you need the module loaded before that, you can include it in the initrd. You would list it in /etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd. (I don't remember the exact format.) Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
