I've been attempting to prepare my machine to play some quake, but I can't get the 3dfx.o module to work. I downloaded the device3dfx source using apt-get, ran the buildpkg script, and then installed the .deb created. As the deb is trying to update-modules, I see a message saying "Unresolved symbols in lib/.../3dfx.o". When I depmod -e this (I've been hitting the man pages...), the two symbols it mentions are "register_chrdev_Rbbdcb79f" and "printk_R1b7d4074".
In the the archives someone mentioned running nm 3dfx.o | grep printk, and then grep printk /proc/ksyms to see if the kernel headers that were used match. Mine don't. I'm not sure how to fix that, because my kernel source is in /usr/src/linux (actually kernel-source-2.2.18pre21, but it's symlinked) where the programs should be able to find the right files. I just recently recompiled my kernel because the makefile wouldn't run without the kernel having been configured and installed, so I dont' think restoring my old kernel would help. Also, none of the modules made after "make modules; make install" worked -- they all had unresolved symbols. I restored the old modules, and they're working fine with my new kernel. So I guess it boils down to a) why can't I compile a working 3dfx.o, and b) why aren't modules made based on my kernel src (retrieved using dselect) working either? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry I'm so verbose, but I work tech support and know how important every little thing can be... Cheers, JB (running Debian 2.2.18pre21, custom kernel, with 2.2.18pre21 kernel source) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
