I tried it with the printf("something") in the code of the module. But I
wasn't able to see anything in the error log or elsewhere. So how can I
get my printed things? Or how can I print something to the console?
Anyway, I was able to figure out, that the function:

static Bool VESAPciProbe(DriverPtr drv, int entity_num, struct
pci_device *dev, intptr_t match_data)

wasn't called. But I compiled the module with libpciaccess. So I don't
know why it isn't called?

A friend telled me, that the reason is perhaps my /dev because I create
every dev by myself. So here's a listing of my dev in the minilinux,
perhaps you are able to find an error there:

Hope you can help me...
