E can;t go changing kernel module options. it is not root, nor does it even
know HOW to change it as it will vary from distro to distro and user to user as
to how they have config files set up. also e cant CHANGE the modules as it's
already started and kernel modules are up and running and u cant unload and
re-load once already in use. this is entirely out of our hands. it's not even
out job to figure out what gfx card or driver you have - they all are meant to
export the same api and features via x and opengl. opengl tells us what
extensions are and are not supported in a generic way.
