Invalid module format

I believe that occurs when you are trying to load a module that was created with a different version of the kernel or compiler. I invite you to join the discussion here:

It is a long tread, but still very active. Please provide more information like (where you downloaded the drivers from, what distro you are using (whatever version of ubuntu or others) and if you have tried the PPA

It tried to load the drivers as suggested in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo/ with Karmic Lucid and Maverick with no luck.

And this error appeared when trying to run the drivers suggested at https://launchpad.net/~gma500/+archive/emgd on Maverick.

So to clarify, you did not install the PSB drivers, but the EMGD drivers instead using the scripts from here https://launchpad.net/~gma500/+archive/emgd ?

Yes that's what I did.

Ok, to help you further I will probably need more people involved, hop on this forum thread

Post a description of every step you have tried, the error code, and add the content of this file:

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

onto this site:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/

and include that link (the one it will create for you, with that info in it)

I loaded the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/567875/

What I did was to install Ubuntu 10.10 netbook version.
Then I updated everything using the gnome Update Manager
After rebooting I followed the instructions on https://launchpad.net/~gma500/+archive/emgd
I removed the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf because in previous attempts it prevented the system to load the graphic environment.
After another reboot I noticed the default slow graphic software was still in place and I tried to load manually the emgd kernel module:

$ sudo modprobe emgd
FATAL: Error inserting emgd (/lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/updates/dkms/emgd.ko): Invalid module format

The hardware I am using is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/567876/ (result of a lshw)

After doing:

sudo apt-get purge emgd-dkms xorg-emgd emgdui
sudo apt-get autoremove

And reinstalling again using the scripts from https://launchpad.net/~gma500/+archive/emgd

It seems that now emgd is loaded properly. But the screen doesn't display anything. I found this post that reflects what is now happening to me:

Unfortunatelly I don't quite get the solution. Could anyone help with this?

Thank you.

Yes, the EMGD drivers require a custom xorg.conf file. They are often specific to your device. What is the make and model of your device?

My device is a iei uIBX-200-R10/Z510P:

And you have tried editing the xorg.conf with your native resolution and rebooting?

Yes. I think the problem either is that referenced in http://embedded.communities.intel.com/thread/4918 about different versions living together, or that the default xorg.conf is for laptop screens and with my device I am using an external screen.

Using the xorg.conf file uploaded at http://paste.ubuntu.com/575046/ the graphic environment works again. The only problem is that sometimes windows appear filled with lines of random colors. If the window is minimized and then opened again it is displayed properly.
