Subject: Debian Wheezy: intel driver conflicts with compat-drivers
Date: Sun, 17 Mar 2013 18:53:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130317175321.GA5732@stt008.linux.site> (raw)
Hello,
After compiling the compat-drivers (thanks to this mailing list
support) I was unable to load the generated kernel module. It failed
with a succinct message:
***
ERROR: could not insert 'alx': Exec format error
***
But dmesg showed more:
***
compat: exports duplicate symbol i2c_bit_algo (owned by i2c_algo_bit)
***
After restartig the system, gnome-shell crashed because Xorg loaded the
VESA driver. I did not join the points until I found a related bug
report at Debian:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703142#51
And then was "pointed" to ask you :-)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703142#71
True is that I was able to compile and load "compat-drivers" with no
problems at all from another system with no Intel card on it, so here
I am.
Is is a known problem? Is there a workaround for Intel VGA-based
systems?
Greetings,
