Actually, /etc/modules.conf is typically use to load your sound-card module, but in a round-about way: using aliases to char-major-*. For example, /dev/dsp is a character-special device with major number 14. So I have in /etc/modules.conf something like alias char-major-14 soundcore This means the soundcard module will only get loaded the first time it is needed. This soundcore stuff is for ALSA; Try redhat-config-soundcard for something that will hopefully work for your card. In modules.conf you can also specify options to modules, specify programs to run when the module is loaded/unload (e.g., I use it to save the volume setting across module reload and even reboots). -- Nadav Har'El | Monday, Feb 17 2003, 15 Adar I 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |When you handle yourself, use your head; http://nadav.harel.org.il |when you handle others, use your heart. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
