Greetings;
Back again...
Running linux-3.16.0, home built. Using the nouveau driver on an
EVGA GeForce 8400 GS card
Messages log being spammed hundreds of megabytes a week by something
nouveau version in kernel vs version of x installed related. X is from
the server version of 10.04.4 LTS with enough x & kde installed to get
a window manager and kmail working.
My audio & video is stuttering something terrible about 98% of the time,
on a quad core phenom with 8Gb of ram.
Something was said about the frame buffer being incompatible, and I asked
where could I dl the newer x so I could build it here, and was not answered.
Now this morning I find that I do have a module nvidiafb.ko:
gene@coyote:/etc$ ls -l \
/lib/modules/3.16.0/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48412 2014-12-05 12:36 \
/lib/modules/3.16.0/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko
But:
gene@coyote:/etc$ sudo modprobe \
/lib/modules/3.16.0/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko
FATAL: Module /lib/modules/3.16.0/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko not \
found.
So my question is, why this module can't even be found when I give
modprobe the full path to it?
Attempting to insmod it, I get an unknown symbol in module error return.
How can I alleviate this audio & video pain?
Thanks & Merry Christmas to all.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
