Hi All,

Actually we have wriitten a framebuffer driver for MIPS platform(cross
compiled at intel86 linux box).
We are installing it by insmod command.
Then we are getting the following error.
<name> Cannot insert <name> unknown symbol in module(8) no such file or
directory
Also it has some code and function for propertiary graphics code.
For that i have we have added supplementary <supp.ko> file to be linked with
the main frame buffer driver
in the makefile to provide the reference for the symbols for the propertiary
graphics code.
We have added the line LICENCE_MODULE(GPL) in main frame buffer driver
code(<name>)

Can anybody help in this regard?
Thanks in advance.

If I was you I would look at how other kernel modules export
their to be exported symbols. Try to understand the mechanism by
adding new symbols and use them.
