Details

I just noticed that, when MOD_AUTOLOAD is enabled in rc.conf, udev loads modules via uevents *after* any modules that get loaded manually. This isn't a problem for those who load all their modules manually; however, for those who use uevents to load their modules, it could become something of a nuisance in cases where modules need to be loaded in a certain order.
This task depends upon

If it's a problem that your own modules get loaded before uevents modules are loaded, why don't you load the needed modules first then from MODULES?
For my TV card, I have to load my tuner module before the TV card module, otherwise it won't detect my tuner. I have two choices here:
- load my tuner module from MODULES first, then let uevents autodetection take place
- blacklist my TV card module and load it by hand from MODULES

Option 1 is what would work with the method used at this time, option 2 is what I would have to use in the situation you would like. If this is about your via/agp module problem: don't load them at all via MODULES, uevents will autodetect the module for your AGP chipset, Xorg will load the DRM module for your videocard on start.

this is not a bug that is the wanted behaviour and it is documented this way.
