Trouble loading modules in gentoo 2.6

[Umberger]

I am trying to get video acceleration working in gentoo 2.6 with my ATI mobility radeon 9600. I have emerged ati-drivers, and the next step is supposedly to load the module "fglrx", which modprobe tells me is present:

However, when I add the line "fglrx" to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, i get an error on boot saying that it "Failed to load module fglrx" any ideas why this is happening?
And I suppose, while I'm at it, if anyone has any experience with this series of video card, I wouldn't complain about any other advice either
Thanks in advance.

Just set it up on a Fedora Machine , can you find that module in the /usr/src directory ? I guess this should be the same for Gentoo as well

Probably find a Gentoo-answer quicker if you go to gentoo.org's forums and search thru it. That forum is very handy and more then likely somebody else already had the same problem and figured out a solution.

Drag is right. I use gentoo myself and find quite a bit of help at forums.gentoo.org

so a straight modprobe fglrx works but adding it to autoload doesn't? how bout once you have it build doing a depmod -a and then retrying. It could be that the modules.dep list may not have fglrx and depmod -a will help you out with that by rebuilding the list.
