How to load modules with parameters?
In order for Side Band Addressing and Fast Writes to be enabled for my chipset using the nvidia driver, I need to pass parameters when I modprobe the module. For example:
nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1
Problem is, I can't put this is rc.conf.. Is there another place I can add this so the module gets loaded correctly?
Thanks!

Re: How to load modules with parameters?
/etc/modprobe.conf
I cannot recall the syntax for anything other than ethernet drivers though.
:oops:
A net search should yeild superior results to any I could give.

Re: How to load modules with parameters?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's something like this
options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1Offline

Re: How to load modules with parameters?
options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 Would this go in my xorg.conf or as a line in my modprobe.conf?

Re: How to load modules with parameters?
Ah, I see... All hail GOOGLE...
Looks like the options section goes in modprobe.conf.. I'll try when I get home...
Thanks!

Re: How to load modules with parameters?
Agreed, but I've been running safely with them for 6+ months in another distro that shall remain nameless!

Re: How to load modules with parameters?
Adding
options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1
to modprobe.conf worked

This is the nvidia recommended way of doing it.
