blacklisted module still gets loaded, why?
Hello all, I tried to blacklist the fglrx module to disable 3d acceleration and only get 2d (this way I can suspend, god dam it), I tried adding !fglrx into the modules array of rc.conf, that didn't work, I also tried to add an entry into MODULE_BLACKLIST() array, nothing changed either. So yeah... why?

Sometimes the modules are loaded earlier than rc.conf's MODULES field starts to matter. Have a look at

It's possible that it is in the kernel image generated when you were installing the kernel. Try rmmoding it manually, blacklisting it in /etc/rc.conf and then regenerating the kernel image ("mkinitcpio -p kernlel26" as root) and see if that helps.

Re: blacklisted module still gets loaded, why?
I think the problem is rather that blacklisting a module tells udev to not load a certain module in any case, my strongest guess is that you have fglrx as driver in your xorg.conf and Xorg therefore loads it if it's not loaded already. You could try to switch to another driver, maybe suspend works with the open source version of the ATI drivers?
