[solved] fglrx: Unknown symbol remap_pfn_range

[DanBowen1]

All,

My 2.6.9 build does not seem to be able to build the 'flgrx' module for my radeon card (I'm sure it worked before since by graphics worked fine - but maybe I was unknowingly using another driver?).

I get undefined symbol errors on build and when I do a modprobe on the new flgrxdriver(.ko) I get this is dmesg:

fglrx: Unknown symbol remap_pfn_range

and hence no X display - though the boot framebuffer seems to work.

My lspci shows:

0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE] (rev 01)
0000:01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE] (Secondary) (rev 01)

and I'm running 2.6.9-gentoo-r9 with .9-rc4 patches from bytesex.org to support my Conexant Haupauge DVB card.

I have deleted and re-emerge the kernel source tree and this driver version (emerge ati-drivers gives 8.13.3 as latest) and the previous three verions but get the same error with all.

I can post the full build errors if it would help anyone but it is rather lengthy...

Help!

Since you have a Radeon 9200 you could stick with the standard drivers that come with the kernel and xorg. Those support the 9200 fine, including 3d accell. If you really must have the ati drivers, make sure the version matches your kernel version.

thanks - what should I put in the X driver section if not the 'fglrx' driver?

A driver patch method for the 2.6.9 kernel build was kindly provided...
