Shouldn't it be just one or the other? sorry for the confusion. this is what I meant: as opposed to what quite a few people would like you to believe you *don't* have to compile stuff into kernel to have the desired functionality. i've successfully used dynamically loaded usb, agp, and sound (at least two different sound cards) support over the last year. -- If you cc me or take the list(s) out completely I'll most likely ignore your message.

If it still doesn't work, I guess something else is borked. I usually have my best success configuring X using the old-fashioned xf86config command and working through the subsequent question-and-answer.
