Yep, finally bothered to look at the kernel output and there it
complained about missing DIAGNOSTIC - added it, now it loads. Had to
change a few more things - it wanted major number 34 which is
apparently taken - changed it to dynamic - now it attaches, finds the
voodoo board and when X tries to use it I get a kernel panic... oh
well, there are more important things than this ( like getting xfree
drivers to work unchanged )
have fun
