Re: Unknown symbol register_framebuffer

Hi Geert,

 

Thanks for the reply.

Actually we are the writer of the device driver file.

We don't have any supplier.

Although we have all the library and .so files.

But it is not able to find the above mentioned symbols in the kernel table.

COuld you plz let us know how to link the kernel symbol so that the KLM brcmstfb.ko can find the symbols?

 

Thanks & Regards,
kaka

Really? I just tried `modinfo' of an ia32 box on a cross-compiled module
for a ppc64 box, and it worked fine.

As mentioned before, please talk to the supplier of your module about these
references to `printf', `malloc', and `free'.
