fb modules loaded by default
Last modified: 2005-11-14 11:37:30 UTC
As usual framebuffer modules are loaded by default. This is still wrong and needs to be fixed for each new SuSE Linux version again. :-( Because of this the nvidia kernel module cannot be loaded. Aug 23 16:39:13 linux kernel: NVRM: The NVIDIA probe routine was not called for 1 device(s). Aug 23 16:39:13 linux kernel: NVRM: This can occur when a driver such as rivafb or rivatv was Aug 23 16:39:13 linux kernel: NVRM: loaded and obtained ownership of the NVIDIA device(s). Aug 23 16:39:13 linux kernel: NVRM: Try unloading the rivafb (and/or the rivatv) kernel module Aug 23 16:39:13 linux kernel: NVRM: (or reconfigure your kernel without rivafb support), then Aug 23 16:39:13 linux kernel: NVRM: try loading the NVIDIA kernel module again. Aug 23 16:39:13 linux kernel: NVRM: No NVIDIA graphics adapter probed! Since nvidiafb, i2c_algo_bit, i2c_core require each other, it's even impossible to unload the module. :-(
That's because we don't have the pci classes black/whitelist anymore. All modules that should not be loaded have to go to the module blacklist. which modules should i add?
All fb modules below kernel/drivers/video, which are *in* our kernel RPM. Since the nvidia/fglrx kernel module are installed to this location as well, it's not a good idea to exclude this directory from loading any modules in general! Probably sth. like this would be a good start: # rpm -ql kernel-default|grep /kernel/drivers/video| grep ".ko"
D.h. ich werde arcfb backlight lcd cirrusfb gx1fb macmodes nvidiafb s1d13xxxfb savagefb zur existierenden /etc/hotplug/blacklist hinzufügen. OK? Auch backlight und lcd?
intelfb is missing in this list. Yes, please add also backlight and lcd to /etc/hotplug/blacklist.
Added arcfb backlight lcd cirrusfb gx1fb intelfb macmodes nvidiafb s1d13xxxfb savagefb to svn and submitted package.
