Further research and Ive come up with this ( and im way out my depth here !!!)
$ sudo modinfo -F vermagic -k 2.6.24-16-386 fglrx 2.6.24-16-386 mod_unload 486 $ sudo modinfo -F vermagic -k 2.6.24-17-386 fglrx 2.6.24-16-386 mod_unload 486 $ sudo modinfo -F vermagic -k 2.6.24-18-386 fglrx 2.6.24-16-386 mod_unload 486 $ sudo modinfo -F vermagic -k 2.6.24-19-386 fglrx Vermagic isnt changing with each compilation of the module, it seems to be stuck on -16. The module was initially compiled from the ati package against a running -16 kernel, then installed against the different kernel versions using dkms build and dkms install with the -k parameter . Is this part of the problem ?? build of module for -19 is ...... sudo dkms build -m fglrx -k 2.6.24-19-386 -v 8.501 Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping... Building module: cleaning build area.... pushd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.501/build; sh make.sh --nohints; popd..... cleaning build area....
