Bonjour,

I have an ATI radeon 9200 video card which was perfectly détected by
redhat-config-xfree86 during the install process. The XF86Config is:

[snip]

Section "Module"
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "record"
        Load  "freetype"
        Load  "type1"
        Load  "dri"

EndSection

[snip]

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "radeon"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "ATI Radeon 9200"
EndSection

But, at boot time the radeon module is not loaded and I cannot see anywhere in
/var/log/messages some message like:

"Can't locate module char-major-226" or something of the like that can be usualy
found when the kernel tries to load video cards modules....

How can I force the kernel to load the radeon module?

Thank you
