Debian :: Blacklisting A I915 Driver (module)?
May 11, 2011
I have really problems with i915 driver (module) and my graphic card on squeeze with gnome.There is a BUG and there is no any solution at the moment:[URL]So I'd like to disable i915 driver from the startup and load i810 module instead:
Code:
# modprobe i810
# modprobe i910
#
BTW I've tried to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with i810 module for the video card, but it doesn't work, i915 will be loaded.
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier"i810"
Driver"i810"
EndSection
Is it any other way to blacklist i915 completely from the startup, for example in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf?

In the past, I've rebuilt the kernel with the i915 driver built-in, and that works fine. But is there any way to do this without recompiling your kernel? I read that I shouldn't use vga=XXX with Intel KMS.
I tried adding the i915 module to my initrd, but that gives me an error message on boot. Something like "Unable to initialize the agpgart module"

I am installed Debian 5.0.5 with kernel 2.6.x.
I do a lspci and get: Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Kernel modules: e1000e
I know under this im supposed to see: Kernel driver in use: e1000e <- but this doesn't exist.
So, under lsmod I see e1000e loaded:

When I try to load the Realtek 8187 modules to kernel using the ./wlan1up command, I get the following error:
[root@localhost rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007]# ./wlan1up
insmod: error inserting 'ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko': -1 File exists
[code]...
Can someone tell me how to correct the "Invalid module format"? I hope that correcting the "Invalid module format" error, I will not have the "Unknown symbol in module" error.
Note: I am using wlan1 for this module as I previously am online with the wlan0 network.The same error occurs if I use ./wlan0up.

I have a printer connected locally to my Debian box. It runs fine via cupsd.I am also running a Windows 2003 VMware guest which I would like to use the printer (use as a local printer, not a network printer).
VMware offers a connection via USB, so it should work. The printer I have plugged locally into the Debian host is recognised by the Windows 2003 guest, but it won't print. I get an error message saying that the printer is still connected to the host OS, and that I need to remove (or presumably disable) the host driver before the guest can use the printer.
So how can I find out which printer driver/module is being used by the Debian host to connect to this printer? And what is the best way to temporarily disable it, while my VMware guest is running?

I'm trying to set up an HP DisplayLink USB graphic adapter on Debian 6 to be paired with the notebook's integrated Intel i915 video card. I use a custom 3.11.1 kernel in which the options for VGA arbitration, fbdev framebuffer and DisplayLink driver are enabled as built-in, not as modules.
The device works and I'm able to correctly run an X session on a DVI monitor connected to my notebook thru this USB graphic adapter. However, I'm still not able to use both the DisplayLink device and the integrated Intel i915 at the same time under X, with the purpose to extend the desktop area over the two screens, side by side.
During a boot, if the DisplayLink adapter is detected over the USB cable, the X-server's Intel driver is repudiated as shown in the logs below, and the main notebook's screen stops working with X. (nonetheless, it still functions on the "Alt-F1" text terminal).
Relevant portion of /var/log/Xorg.0.log
In particular, it shows: [ 2509.084] (II) UnloadModule: "intel"
Code: Select all[ 2509.061] (II) FBDEV: driver for framebuffer: fbdev
[ 2509.061] (II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810,
i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 854, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G,
E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, Pineview GM, Pineview G,
[Code] ....
In case it is required, this is the relevant excerpt of my xorg.conf. In my full xorg.conf file installed locally, no other options deal with graphics or screens.
Code: Select all# All down here is required for DisplayLink
# Depth must be 16 bits for all the screens to support DisplayLink
Section "Device"
Identifier "IntelVideo"
Driver "intel"
EndSection

I'm on an HP envy with with hybrid graphics configuration. I installed debian 7.7 from DVD, but it failed to load i915 driver on its own. It loaded nouveau. But gnome falls back to classic mode. There is not brightness control either.I tried adding i915 to /etc/modules and also blacklisted nouveau at the command line. Now i915 gets loaded, but with some hickups as shown in dmesg. Still I'm in fallback mode in gnome.
Code: Select alljay@aura-envy:~$ dmesg | grep drm
[ 16.152467] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[ 16.161706] [drm:i915_init] *ERROR* drm/i915 can't work without intel_agp module!
So I went ahead and added intel_agp (before i915 line) to modules file, but still no luck. I suspect there is no module called intel_agp at the first place, because :
Code: Select alljay@aura-envy:~$ sudo modinfo intel_agp
[sudo] password for jay:
ERROR: Module intel_agp not found.

I disabled KMS and checked for direct rendering with the glxinfo command. glxinfo, reported that direct rendering is enabled. This is good news, because it means that the i915 driver is being used.
[Code]....
Now, I need to write a custom xorg.conf file to force X to use the native resolutions of my chip.

My gentoo laptop doesn't have a serial port, so I got a usb-serial (RS-232) adapter from ebay. However when I plug it in, the only thing dmesg mentiones is: Code:usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2I've tried to look for a kernel driver in "make menuconfig" by pressing "/" and typing 232. Nothing about RS-232. Device Drivers -> Character drivers -> Serial drivers has 8250 and UART as a module. Device Drivers -> USB support -> USB serial converter support has in-kernel: USB generic serial driver, and FTDI Single port driver as a module, but it still isn't getting recognized.Is there some module i forgot to enable, or do i have to download a separate module from somewhere?

I do not know if this is really something I should worry about. I am running Debian testing on my laptop (HP Pavillon dv6). Today, the aptitude update---aptitude upgrade gave me a new kernel (2.6.39). However, if I boot with that kernel, I get a warning (do not know if that is the way I should call this) telling me that the machine failed to get the i915 symbols so turbo graphics will be disabled.I have not done any serious test, but at first sight I do not notice any difference performance-wise with respect to the previous kernel. what am I supposed to do to fix this?

if I've missed this in the doc's, but I don't see the ability to "wildcard" blacklist for packages to _not_ be changed out via the slackpkg program.More specifically, I tagged all my packages like this:
mozilla-firefox-3.6b4-i486-1_OLDFOGIE.tgz
note the "OLDFOGIE" in my package name? So can something such as:
Quote:
*OLDFOGIE*
be put into slackpkg blacklist file?

i'm trying to compile a driver module on ubuntu 10.10 . initially i was getting a lot of include file errors. but then when i added the include path. but after doing that i was getting a series of errors which i have no idea how to solve and it wont fit in one page. i've followed the same way how it is given in the tutorials online but still i'm not able to get it done. Is there any simple method to do this? is there something that i shouldn't do.

I may be missing a last crucial step while trying to use modprobe to install a module and make it active.The system is Debian (Mint LMDE flavor).The module is for a Realtek wlan driver. Since it appears to be available in the kernel, I chose to try and use it instead of getting into a work-around using ndiswrapper.Here is how I found it..
Code:
# modprobe -l | grep r81
kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko

i have 2 nic's that use the same 8139too module to be operated.so in order to run them i added in /etc/modprobe.d/a file with 2 aliases for the 2 nics alias eth0 8139too alias eth1 8139too and I added a udev rule to give the name eth1 to the 2nd card (the 1st card already had a rule) i still don't get the 2nd rule to be brought up automatically at start up... ifconfig only returns 'eth0' and i have to manually do 'ifconfig eth1 up' at which time the interface is brought up nicely.. then i do a dchpcd to get a network address and im all set. but i would like to do this automatically... note that i know that if i add static ips in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf i will get both ifs up... but i wonder how its gonna happen with the 2nics being 2 dhcp clients.

In C++ or C, is there anyway to detect the name of the module or driver currently used by a network interface card (either wired or wireless, INCLUDING USB DEVICES)?My application must have this feature. I just want to detect whether the module / driver is ndiswrapper or not.

ov51x-jpeg rpm was available for opensuse 11.0 and previous versions. I fail to find it for 11.1. My webcam requires it (IIRC it is a creative webcam ... if anybody requires details I can pull it out of my basement).I am comfortable with command-line, however I would prefer not to compile the source code (I am not familiar with compiling kernel modules )

I am running openSUSE 11.1 with modified Kernel. While trying to run make on the downloaded driver for the RTL2831 I am getting an error message that I do not full understand. That is:

I am not sure what is required when the error is "first use this function". How can I use the function T_DIGITAL_TV if I first have to install my driver in order to use the stick?

Recently I bought a Usb wifi router Belkin F6D4050 as my old laptop does not have a wifi chip. Unfortunately Belkin does not give Linux drivers for their products. I searched around the web and found a solution where after downloading the ralink drivers and making some modifications it worked under ubuntu
As my laptop is a PIII I decided to install Arch core image and build on it. I followed the same instructions in compiling the drivers for the usb router and yes it worked under arch linux.
It generated a .ko file and it loads at boot time.
Now say I want to use Puppy/Ubuntu etc instead of Arch and I want to access wifi through the router.
My question is whether copying this .ko file specific to the device to another distro puppy/ubuntu in the similar path make it work or it needs to be recompiled on the new distro
