insmod fails on ASUS G74Sx with nvidia GeForce GTX 560M #19

Closed rwstauner closed 12 years ago

rwstauner commented 13 years ago

I don't know if i should be using this driver or not, but I was trying to see if the nvidia driver recognizes changes to the backlight and found this thread: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=143025

After attempting the source installation with make dkms-install, I get the following error trying to load the module:

*$ sudo modprobe -v nvidiabl insmod /lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic/updates/dkms/nvidiabl.ko FATAL: Error inserting nvidiabl (/lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic/updates/dkms/nvidiabl.ko): No such device

I have tried with and without the acpi_backlight=vendor kernel option. I also tried the .deb package.

If I add this patch the driver will load but doesn't seem to do anything:

Spoke too soon... the brightness not adjusting seems to have been a conflict with another module i had loaded at the time (asus-nb-wmi). After a reboot both modules (nvidiabl and asus-nb-wmi) appear to be working in tandem. After a suspend the brightness keys still work. I submitted the above diff as pull request 20. Thanks!
