If you don??™t have a Linux system installed yet, try booting KNOPPIX and using lsmod to
list your loaded modules. If all your hardware is working properly, write down the list of
modules. Later, when you permanently install Fedora or some other Linux system, if your CD drive,
modem, video card, or other hardware doesn??™t work properly, you can use your list of modules to
determine which module should have been used and load it, as described in the next section.
This output shows a variety of modules that have been loaded on a Linux system, including several
to support the ALSA sound system, some of which provide OSS compatibility (snd_seq_oss).
To find information about any of the loaded modules, use the modinfo command. For example,
you could type the following:
# /sbin/modinfo -d snd-seq-oss
???OSS-compatible sequencer module???
Not all modules have descriptions available and if nothing is available, no data will be returned. In
this case, however, the snd-seq-oss module is described as an OSS-compatible sequencer module.
