If nomodeset is set, kms.sh sets "dont_load_modules" - otherwise kms modules will be loaded automatically. BUT: The firmware loader needs a running udev. If I modify the run-all script and insert a "bash" after the udev.sh script, I can manually load them. It's not possible without the udev daemon. I'm not sure if it's enough to just start kms.sh after udev.sh because udev might load the modules automatically (is this the case with this kind of modules?) Otherwise kms would have to pre split in two scripts - the first sets options and always calls dont_load_modules, the seconds (after udev) then explicitely loads the modules. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
