You can always try adding 'nvidia' to /etc/modules Then it WILL load the module on boot. If you run udev or something else silly that makes /dev virtual then there is likely nothing there for X to try and open to cause modprobe to load the nvidia driver, while if you just load the nvidia driver, the device nodes will appear and work just fine. With a regular /dev it should just notify modprobe when something (X) tries to open the /dev/nvidia* nodes and then modprobe loads the nvidia module due to: athlon:~# cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc alias char-major-195* nvidia So of course if /dev/nvidia* doesn't exist (thanks to udev use or devfs) then the alias may not help anything, and the module doesn't load.
