Module conflict rules of thumb?

I was wondering how to go about detecting module conflicts. It seems that most of my encounters with such events were solved through finding stand-alone answers to the particular module in question.

Each time I, being somewhat of a linux kernel newbie, had no idea how the people answering the questions found out that module X was conflicting with module Y.

Any set rules of thumb to go about detecting these conflicts?

FYI: the past experiences were with the rt2870 wireless driver and the Poulsbo psb graphics driver.
