Run away, boring-question man is coming back :D
(jk)

Ok, i solved (thanks guy) all problem with touchscreen i had. and also to "autoload modprobe"
now i need to put a "sisusb" working

a "sisusb" is a "USB to VGA" device, that permit u to plug a second (third, fourth, etc) monitor into usb port

i already did it, i mean: making sisusb working, in different distro (fedora, just for your information)
installing a sisusb is easy enough: put the sisusb_drv.o (or .so) into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers and write something like
Code Sample
Section "Device"
       Identifier  "videocard1"
       Driver      "sisusb"
       VendorName  "SiS"
       BoardName   "SiS"
       Option      "HWCursor" "True"
       Option      "SWCursor" "True"
       Option      "CRT1Gamma" "True"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
       Identifier      "Monitor1"
       VendorName      "freganca1"
       ModelName       "mastigranca1"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
       Identifier      "Screen1"
       Device          "videocard1"
       Monitor         "Monitor1"
       DefaultDepth     16
       SubSection "Display"
               Depth     16
               Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
       EndSubSection
EndSection
into /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file
and then restart X.

now, with dsl (dsl-n to be honest) does not work. why?
dunno; XFree86 log does not show any EE about it (``# cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log | grep EE'' does not show any EE at all)
i tried using sisusb_drv.o dowloaded at http://www.winischhofer.eu/linuxsisusbvga.shtml then i discovered these one are using gcc3

and this is a problem: what version of gcc i can use on dsl-n?
i found gcc1 package for dsl; googling here and there i found somplace saying there are gcc up to 2.95 for dsl
browsing mydsl extension browser, however, i found NOONE gcc package
so, where i can found updated gcc?
and someone knows where (if any) i can found sisusb driver useable for dsl(-n)??

thanks for helping (again) mate

Check the DSL extensions; There are Gcc 3.3.4 (in gcc1-with-libs) and 2.9.5.

You also need to compile the kernel driver from that page..

The gcc extensions didn't work very well for me in dsl-n, you might be better off using dpkg or apt-get to install gcc in dsl-n

Oook
i tried to compile kernel module; well, a friend of mine helped me 'cause i never compiled kernel modules before :D

so, we downloaded kernel bz2 from kernel.org (2.6.12.6 and my system is 2.6.12)
i did a backup of .config file, just in case

then
Code Sample
# make config
 HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1
make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2

so what's happening? what i need to do to make this driver working?

(yeah, i know, i'm very noob at this... so please, i need it in "dummy-user talking" :D )

ty for help
