I just installed the latest nVidia Detonator Linux driver. When I rebooted the system to use the new driver the display manager failed to start x. The logs say it has trouble finding the nvidia kernel module, so I did 'lsmod' and confirmed that the module wasn't loaded. I then did 'insmod nvidia', upon which insmod reports that loading the nvidia module will taint the kernel due to a non-GPL license, but that it is now loaded with some warnings. After that I can happily 'startx', but when I shut the computer down or reboot I need to insmod the module again to get x going again. I'd prefer this to happen automatically instead of me having to log in as root, insmod, then logout and relogin as my normal self. Would it be safe to add the insmod command to rc.local or similar? Or perhaps there is a program I'm unaware of that can save the module settings, so that this 'dirty' piece of code can be loaded without question! :-)
Kind regards,
Chris Wilkinson, Christchurch.
