Another idea not yet mentioned is to create two wrapper scripts like so: $ cat /usr/local/bin/loadsound #!/bin/sh kldload whatever.ko $ cat /usr/local/bin/unloadsound #!/bin/sh kldunload whatever.ko and the install sudo and configure it to give your user the ability to run those two commands without entering your password. Finally, add sudo loadsound and sudo unloadsound to your startup and exit scripts. -- Kirk Strauser pgpWUVdbZQYd0.pgp Description: PGP signature

how do i exec a kldload script when starting ttyv8 kdm (or xorg) ?
modify the xorg or kdm startup script?
why do you need such thing?

You may also want to have a look at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession. This latter file will call up ~/.xsession, which is where we normally put commands at the beginning of an X session called up through xdm. What I do in that file is to call nvidia-settings and display a background image. I guess ~/.xsession is the right place to put a kldload - this file may be simply a symlink to .xinitrc (if the setup you want is in this file). why do you need such thing? I want to load sound support only when in a desktop environment, and auto-disable it when moving back to a console. That is, I need a script that loads sound when starting, and unloads when exiting kdm. Okay, when you revert to the console, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xreset may be the right place to put a kldunload. Or maybe you could use GiveConsole and TakeConsole (in the same directory) to accomplish these tasks. I hope more expert users will chime in with more information about the difference between these various command files. Have a look at man xdm as well as /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config. For some reason, not many users appear to use xdm. The majority apparently prefer kdm or gdm or just .xinitrc. I find that odd myself. -- Tore ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
