[SLUG] loading a module at boot

Whenever I rebooted my box, I would lose my video driver:

I noticed no 'nvidia" module with lsmod, so I did the following:

modprobe nvidia

and I got this as a result:

nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-6629 Wed Nov 3
13:12:51 PST 2004

startx works fine now.

I noticed this in /etc/modules.conf:

alias char-major-195 nvidia

It sure looks like it would load, but why doesn't it? Should I have something
else in /etc/modules.conf to have this load permanently? I'm using FC3
