nvidia driver does not load via modprobe.conf

[Ernest L. Williams Jr.]

Hi,

I installed "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run" today.

The driver does not load upon reboot which leads to X failing.

I noticed the following line in my modprobe.conf file:

================ modprobe.conf snippet =========================
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
alias char-major-195* nvidia
================================================================

After running "modprobe nvidia" manually everything works.  However,
next time I boot up it is gone again.


Does anyone know the magic trick here?



Thanks,
Ernesto
