[SOLVED] Module load errors

I've installed the base following the beginner's guide.  Grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows the following errors:

(EE) Failed to loan module "intel" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) KB Multimedia keyboard:  failed to initialize for relative axes

I haven't found any help for the 1st and 2nd errors; the 3rd looks less important.

I'd appreciate any help.

Re: [SOLVED] Module load errors

Do you have and Intel graphics card? Did you install the Intel drivers? Are the drivers being loaded or can you at least load them manually?

fbdev error is not important.

Thanks for the quick reply Karol.

/usr/sbin.lspci shows that I have the following graphics controller:

Display controller:  Intel Corporation 82G965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

But finding the correct Intel (or other) driver is a problem.  Those I've tried so far (xf86-video-i128 and xf86-video-intel) produce the same error.

Re: [SOLVED] Module load errors

Apart from the errors in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log is everything working OK? Can you e.g. start X?

Are you running an up to date system and have you rebooted after you installed new kernel / kernel modules?

Re: [SOLVED] Module load errors

Your drivers are wrong, you should uninstall any other intel drivers you have on the system at the moment.  After that you can reboot if you like or just use rmmod to remove the old modules from your system's array.  Next install this driver:

 
extra/xf86-video-intel 2.15.0-2 (xorg-drivers xorg)
    
X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers 

Try using those with or without an Xorg.conf file.  This wiki page may be useful to you as well:  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel

Removing the old drivers did the trick.  xf86-video-intel works.  Thank you.
