Hi,
I know it is not necessarily easy for everybody, but I believe that your
problem could be fixed by downloading the latest sources off CVS and
compile the program and module for your current kernel build.
You can have more information on how to get the sources of plex86 from
cvs on their website at http://www.plex86.org/
If you need any help compiling the sources, don't hesiate to mail me.
(en passant, je parle francais aussi!)
Have fun,
Dave.
