From the KDE Control Module, select the media type you want to change (in this case, Mounted
Removable Medium). Click Add, and then select the type of action you would like to add as an
option when that type of media is detected.
Working with Loadable Modules
If you have added hardware to your computer that isn??™t properly detected, you might need to manually
load a module for that hardware. Linux comes with a set of commands for loading, unloading,
and getting information about hardware modules.
If you have installed the Linux kernel source code, source code files for available drivers are stored
in subdirectories of the /usr/src/linux*/drivers directory. You can find information about
these drivers in a couple of ways:
make xconfig??”With /usr/src/linux* as your current directory, type make
xconfig from a Terminal window on the desktop. Select the category of module you
want and then click Help next to the driver that interests you. The help information that
appears includes a description of the driver.
