Hello,

I'm trying to get drivers for my touch foil to work. The problem is, that the drivers seem to be compiled for a different kernel than the Porteus 4.0.0 .
Here is what I'm getting from modprobe:

Code: Select all

root@Porteus-GIGABYTE:~# depmod -a
root@Porteus-GIGABYTE:~# modprobe -vf dtouch
insmod /lib/modules/4.4.11-kiosk/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/dtouch.ko
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'dtouch': Exec format error
root@Porteus-GIGABYTE:~#

When using insmod like so:

Code: Select all

insmod /lib/modules/4.4.11-kiosk/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/dtouch.ko

I can find that dmesg prints:

Code: Select all

[ 4128.563022] dtouch: version magic '3.11.0-15-generic SMP mod_unload modversions ' should be '4.4.11-kiosk SMP preempt mod_unload '

Is it possible to force the drivers to install in any other way without touching Porteus kernel?
The foil manufacturer wouldn't provide the source code for the driver, so I don't have the option of recompiling the driver myself. All I'm getting from the manufacturer are two versions of the drivers:
ubuntu12.04.4-ker3.11.0-15 and ubuntu14.04.2-ker3.16.0-30 and both have 32bit and 64bit versions.

Thank you.

Hello Gailius,

Unfortunately there is no way to load incompatible kernel driver. You must get the source code from the manufacturer or use another hardware.

Thank you.

Thank you fanthom for your fast response.

It's a shame I can't do anything here on my own. I will be asking for source code then.

Thank you.
