Normally you can load modules with /sbin/modprobe <module_name>
and to list all your currently installed modules try: /sbin/lsmod

But im sure this will not help you.

Have you executed the complete make process (as root)?

One target in the main file looks like:
installdev:
        (cd kernel/svgalib_helper ; $(MAKE) device )

Which should install all the required devices in the /dev tree.

Have a look into /etc/modules.conf

But also this should manage the make process:
installmodule:
        (cd kernel/svgalib_helper ; $(MAKE) modules_install )

try "make installmodule" and "make installdev" as root.
