Sorry, this should have gone to the list.

Nope, it happened with the 3123. �I built a system last month and merged the 
Nvidia kernel and glx drivers - did not have to put in modules.autoload. �
About two weeks ago I had to rebuild the same system to to disk problems - I 
wiped out all the partitions and started over. �Merged 3123 and it would NOT 
autoload. �I put it in modules.autload and things worked.
