Hi guys,

Is there any way to postpone kernel module load during boot time and i dont want put it on loader.conf ?

I want postpone nvidia & snd_hda module after KDM is loaded.

Thanks,

Doesn't KDM require running X server (which would hardly work without loaded nvidia module, if you are using nvidia-driver)?

Good point!

So i have a plan to write my own script to load all the kernel modules after KDM is loaded except for nvidia module.
 
Just don't include the drivers in the kernel, and don't list them in /boot/loader.conf. That way, the modules won't be loaded automatically at boot time.

If this is a single-user system, then you can write a script that will kldload each of the modules, and put that into the Autostart directory for your window manager/DE (KDE uses ~/.kde/Autostart/). Any executable scripts in the Autostart directory will be run automatically as part of the login process.

If this is a multi-user system, you can write an RC script that will call your script as part of the "start" section. Be sure to put kdm into the REQUIRE line, and possibly into the AFTER line, so that it's not run until after kdm is running.
