atyfb module, unknown symbol prom_palette

atyfb module, unknown symbol prom_palette

[Mustafa Hussein]

Hi

When compiling atyfb as a module, I get:
"atyfb.ko unknown symbol: prom_palette" at the end of "make modules_install"

I had this problem with 2.6.0 thru 2.6.5-rc3 kernels, haven't tried with
2.4.x

Is there anything I can do debug this issue?

Ultra10, Elite3D fb and built-in ATI Rage,  gcc 3.3.3

Thanks

Mustafa

Congratulations, you are the first person to try and build any
of these things as a module :-)

This should fix it:

Thanks, it works!
The reason for building atyfb as module is to get around this problem:
when atyfb is built into the kernel (2.6.0 thru 2.6.3), the elite3d is not
recognized at all.
I'm trying to setup a dual-headed system, and eventually XFree with Xinerama
support.
