I have 23 modules (loaded), most related to the soundcard, and a few related to nvidia, a few for the webcam. It appears I could unload 4 modules but the rest are necessary, and cannot be compiled inside the kernel without breaking functionality of other drivers, or applications. -Kristian -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
