options in modules.conf not used?
|

| Hi,
I have a problem with loading the module for the nvidia video driver. I have
to load the module with some specific options, to avoid a problem with
distorted screen. I'm perfectly able to do this manually, like this:
modprobe nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=0
but I would like these options to be set automatically at boot time. So, I
updated the "/etc/modutils/nvidia-kernel-nkc" file, to read this (the alias
line was already there):
alias char-major-195 nvidia
options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=0
And "/etc/modules.conf" was updated appropriately. But, I still have my
problems with distorted screen. It seems like these options are not used,
even though they are in modules.conf.
How can I check which options a module was loaded with?
Why are the options from modules.conf not applied?
It works fine, if I then manually rmmod the module and then modprobes the
module with the options again.
?
Any help appreciated!

This sounds like you either
- didn't unload and reload the nvidia module, or reboot
- are using kernel 2.6. If that is the case,
edit /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-... instead

Yes I'm running 2.6 kernel and editing /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-...
instead did the trick.
Greatly appreciate it!
