NVdriver pb need -force for insmod

patrickfo

Since today on two PC with NVidia gfx 2 I need to manually load the NVidia modules with force, kernel say "the module will taint the kernel..."
Someone has the same PB?
I will to put an option for this in modules.conf but...

I have put NVdriver in modules.autoload and all is ok,
but untill yesterday and from 2 or 3 month it was no necessary,
somebody now why?

PS: no need to force... modprobe manually works with warning

"the module will taint the kernel..."

That's no problem

It just means that you no longer have a GPL-licence for your kernel, since the Nvidia drivers are not opensource.
So call your lawyer :wink:

I have always needed to put the nvidia driver in /etc/modules.autoload
