FATAL: Error inserting i915 xorg error, eee pc 1000h

Kernel version 2.6.30. Trying to install X on an eee pc 1000h. When I run xinit (using an xorg.conf autogenerated by X -configure), I get

FATAL: Error inserting i915 (/lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

In short, exactly the same error as this guy is getting: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13968
except that I'm on kernel .30 and he's using .29.

That bug report was resolved as not a bug, since apparantly the problem gets fixed as soon as you run 'depmod -a'. Well, I tried running depmod -a, and I still get the same FATAL error when I try to start X.

If I try to run X without an xorg.conf, I get the same error, plus an additional error (EE) Failed to load module "i810" (module does not exist, 0). So that won't solve anything. Any ideas?

Hello Eschatokyrios!

Does it work by you with the same kernel version as in the link ? Well, with 2.6.29.

Do you have this module on your system in fact ?

Welcome to the forum, rovic!

Did you try to install vanilla 2.6.30 manually ?

I got the same error, it seems it may be because of the nouveau driver:
