Re: [elrepo] fglrx error - kernel module version does *not* match drive

[Stephen Isard]

Well, windows in icewm also leave behind a trail of ghosts when they are 
moved, so it may be an X problem, rather than an fvwm one.  Wolfy, can 
you tell me what window manager you use?

Unfortunately, the fvwm window manager, which was always reliable before, is 
now messed up.  It leaves ghosts behind when windows move.  I'll have to try 
a different window manager to see whether it is just fvwm.  If it is, that is 
a problem for a different list.

[elrepo] Announcement: EL7 New kernel-lt Release [4.4.6-1]

[Alan Bartlett]

Announcing the release of the kernel-lt-4.4.6-1.el7.elrepo package set
into the EL7 elrepo-kernel repository:

https://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-lt

The upstream changelog:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.4.6

The following files are currently synchronising across our mirror sites:

nosrc
kernel-lt-4.4.6-1.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm

We provide these kernels for hardware testing in an effort to identify
new/updated drivers which can then be targeted for backporting as kmod
packages. Meanwhile, these kernels may provide interim relief to
people with non-functional hardware. We stress that we consider such
kernels as a last resort for those who are unable to get their
hardware working using the RHEL-7 kernel with supplementary kmod
packages.

These packages are provided "As-Is" with no implied warranty or
support. Using the kernel-lt may expose your system to security,
performance and/or data corruption issues. Since timely updates may
not be available from the ELRepo Project, the end user has the
ultimate responsibility for deciding whether to continue using the
kernel-lt packages in regular service.

The packages are intentionally named kernel-lt so as not to conflict
with the RHEL-7 kernels and, as such, they may be installed and
updated alongside the regular kernel. The kernel configuration is
based upon a default RHEL-7 configuration with added functionality
enabled as appropriate.

If a bug is found when using these kernels, the end user is encouraged
to report it upstream to the Linux Kernel Bug Tracker [1] and, for our
reference, to the ELRepo bug tracker [2]. By taking such action, the
reporter will be assisting the kernel developers, Red Hat and the Open
Source Community as a whole.

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.

Kernel 4.4.x is ok, as 4.1 would be for me. I, personally, don't have any 
requirements so do as you want.

Thanks you for your work :)

Re: [elrepo] fglrx error - kernel module version does *not* match driver

[Stephen Isard]

Thanks for that impressively quick reply, Wolfy.

I have re-upgraded to 15-12.1 for compatibility with you.
$ yum list installed "*fglrx*"
Installed Packages
fglrx-x11-drv.x86_6415.12-1.el6.elrepo @elrepo
kmod-fglrx.x86_64   15.12-1.el6.elrepo @elrepo

The attempt to start X crashes as before, and Xorg.0.log contains
[ 78452.929] (II) LoadModule: "fglrx"
[ 78452.930] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so

[ 78452.949]compiled for 1.4.99.906, module version = 15.30.3
but lower down, just before the segfault, it says
[ 78453.692] (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module Version Information:
[ 78453.692] (II) fglrx(0): Name: fglrx

in contrast to your

[44.090] (II) fglrx(0): Version: 15.30.3
[44.090] (II) fglrx(0): Date: Dec 17 2015

below

Does that mean the the Kernel Module Version Information is coming from 
somewhere other than /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so?  If 
so, where?


Could I be doing something wrong in my (re)installation?  I am just 
using "yum upgrade" (or downgrade) with the elrepo repository enabled.

As far as I can see, you are on 15.11 now. I am running myself 15.12 for a

Hello,

I have SL 6.7, on a Dell Optiplex 980 with a Radeon 6450 card installed.
The elrepo fglrx driver has been working through successive updates of 
SL and kernel for a couple of years.  Yesterday I upgraded the kernel to
2.6.32-573.12.1.el6.x86_64 and took the occasion to upgrade 
fglrx-x11-drv.x86_64 and kmod-fglrx.x86_64 to 15.12-1.el6.elrepo.
X then failed to start, so I downgraded to 15.11-1.el6.elrepo, but that 
didn't help.
