Serious module issues with intel DRM
  • GullibleJonesGullibleJones November 2009
    DRI is not working on my Aspire 3680 laptop... Turns out it's because of this:


    # modprobe i915
    insmod: cannot insert '/lib/modules/2.6.30.6-slitaz/kernel/drivers/acpi/video.ko.gz': unknown symbol in module
    insmod: cannot insert '/lib/modules/2.6.30.6-slitaz/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko.gz': unknown symbol in module
    insmod: cannot insert '/lib/modules/2.6.30.6-slitaz/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko.gz': unknown symbol in module
    modprobe: failed to load module i915: No such file or directory


    I'm not sure what exactly this means, but I think the issue may be that certain modules have to be recompiled against the current kernel. Whatever is going on, DRI is absolutely not working at all. :(

    >i915.ko.gz

    Hmm.. Try to ungzip it.
  • GullibleJonesGullibleJones November 2009
    gzip support should be built into the kernel, all the modules in /lib/modules are gzipped, other gzipped modules do not give such erros, and the errors are about unknown symbols as opposed to the module not being there... So no, I don't think I'll unzip the module. I don't wish to mess up my system any more, thank you.

    @GullibleJones I also have an Intel card and get DRI working by recompiling the Kernel, so yes they is a bug in linux-drm. I will check this on the build host.

    PS: modules have gz extension but are compressed with lzma

    is this already solved in new cooking?? - because I get the same errors

    root@slitaz:/home/tux# modprobe drm

    Can you try installing : linux-agp (must), mesa-dri-intel, and 915resolution pkgs? I have added 945GME patch to 915 resolution sometime back :

    http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/c2796e3d4f81

    See if this helps.

    not much - the only thing is, that its not crashing anymore - I have a white moree screen with the mouse, which is mooving - and I can kill X with strg alt backspace.

    I think as long as I cannot load the i915 modul, it will not work
  • jozeejozee March 2010
    Can you try this pkg for linux-drm:http://people.slitaz.org/~jozee/packages/linux-drm-2.6.30.6.tazpkg?

    It may be a build problem on tanks.
  • kultexkultex March 2010
    your linux-drm is working - the Xorg.0.log now looks much better - but still errors and quite the same picture as before - I think theres something wrong or missing with drm and dri

    drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
    drmOpenDevice:open result is -1, (Not a directory)
    drmOpenDevice:Open failed
    ......continues with the same output with different card-numbers - card1, card2....

    it seems to be a bug in xf86-video-intel-2.7.0 - I think it should be updated to 2.7.1
