Found it. It seems that modinfo needs some love.
My home directory is NFS mounted. "sudo modinfo xyz" works when I'm in
some non-NFS mounted directory:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo modinfo usbcore
modinfo: could not open usbcore: Permission denied
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd /tmp/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ sudo modinfo usbcore
filename:
/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/core/usbcore.ko

When "modinfo fglrx" tries to open("fglrx", O_RDONLY), it fails with
ENOENT.
When "sudo modinfo fglrx" tries to open("fglrx", O_RDONLY), it fails
with EACCESS.
So modinfo needs to do something differently when it gets EACCESS trying
to open the requested module in the current directory.
