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 -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
