I can not stop some modules from loading :(

[DimGR]

ok here is the deal .
i got a new laptop , a D810 with a mobility X600 ATI . I install the card fine with no errors and no problems untill i reboot.
After a reboot drm and radeon modules are loaded and ati does not work .
I have removed these 2 modules from /etc/modules/2.6.11-xxx . I have also added the fglrx to be the first module in that file so it loads first. I have also added drm and radeon in /etc/hotplug/blocklist .

Then i reboot and drm and radeon load first and fglrx doesnt load of course . what on earth loads them the radeon and drm??

Maybe your X server?

I would check your xorg.conf (or XF86Config) files. I know that you specify the driver to use for your video card so this most likely loads the module. I think there is an entry for drm as well.

Below is a copy of my Video section of xorg.conf
Your driver most likely says "radeon" Change this to "fglrx"

Section "Device"
Identifier "Video0"
Driver "nvidia"
#VideoRam 131072
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

After a quick search I found to have DRM work you need to edit xorg.conf to enable load "dri". This is in the beginning of the file after load "glx".

Hope this helps.

i guess it had something to do with new kernels and pci-e ...
