Assuming you have these modules in your kernel when you compiled it or when the packager compiled it, you may use modconf as root to make a module automatically load.modconf is a deb. you should also be able to do modprobe pcspkr. I.E. I do modprobe speakup_sftsyn to load the software speech module for speakup. ----- Original M essage ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2005 11:59 AM Subject: loading modules under 2.6.x > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi all. > > Under the 2.6.x series of kernels, most of my modules get loaded > automagically either during hardware detection, or as they are > needed.
