 |
|
Hi,
I have a laptop with ati mobility x700, I installed xorg-x11 and ati-drivers (all last stable versions, no ~x86).
But when I try to insert module, I get following error:
# modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r3/video/fglrx.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
# dmesg
fglrx: Unknown symbol inter_module_unregister
fglrx: Unknown symbol inter_module_get_request
fglrx: Unknown symbol inter_module_put
fglrx: Unknown symbol inter_module_register
How can I fix this and get x11 working on my laptop???
xorg-x11: 6.8.2-r6
ati-drivers: 8.21.7-r1
gentoo-sources: 2.6.16-r3 |

| As far as I am aware you need at least the 8.23.x drivers if you are using the 2.6.16 kernel. |

Hm, that's strange. I always thought that if I am using only stable packages,
everything should work because it has been thoroughly tested.
But now I have the last stable kernel, xorg and ati-drivers, and yet it does not work together...
Could "downgrading" to 2.6.15 kernel help? I do not like the idea of experimenting with ~x86... |

Hi,
I had the same problems on a HP nx8220/ATI x600/2.6.16r4, and got it fixed using the tips from SevenRains at
http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33847019
Basicly you have to add intermodule.o to kernel/Makefile in your kernel-source directory, and add one line to your kernel-config: CONFIG_OBSOLETE_INTERMODULE=y
Compile your kernel again, reboot to it (tip; remove xdm from your default-runlevel, so it won't barf when it enters it after the reboot), and install the latest ATI-driver. Reboot again, and you should have the fglrx.ko loaded on X-startup. That did the trick for me!
Good luck! |

I also had the same problem with my Radeon x700 running 2.6.16-r3,
replaced
| Code: | | obj-$(CONFIG_OBSOLETE_INTERMODULE) += intermodule.o |
with
| Code: | | obj-y += intermodule.o |
in /usr/src/linux/kernel/Makefile
and added the line to my .config
i have had problems in the past with the ati-drivers in portage but the drivers straight from the ati website
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=300
work fine. |
