Loading module at boot (nvidiabl)

I want to load the nvidiabl at boot. I tried creating nvidiabl.conf in /etc/modules-load.d/ with the contents "nvidiabl screen_type=3" , but it doesnt launch, it throws an error. SO i guess this module needs to be loaded after xorg starts.
Any idea how i can autoload this modules?

Re: Loading module at boot (nvidiabl)

modules to be loaded go in /etc/modules-load.d. Module options go in /etc/modprobe.conf. You cannot mix and match the two.

Re: Loading module at boot (nvidiabl)

I tried it without the options , just loading nvidiabl as it is and it still doesnt allow me to load it on boot. it says systemd[1] failed to load modules (not the exact message but similar).

[EDIT]
I dont know how but it started working after i copied the loading scripts from nvidia_bl aur.
here are the exact contents

/etc/modprobe.d/nvidiabl.conf

blacklist mbp_nvidia_bl

#If your backlight is very dim, try uncommented this option.
options nvidiabl screen_type=3

/etc/modules-load.d/nvidiabl.conf

# Load nvidiabl
nvidiabl

Re: Loading module at boot (nvidiabl)

Then look at the journal for errors... You'll need to look at messages for the PID that systemd-load-modules ran as. Messages will not show up for the service. 'systemctl status' shows you the pid, and then you can run 'journalctl -b _PID=$pid'
