custom kernel modules
« on: June 01, 2012, 11:27:26 PM »
so i know all the make menuconfig; make && make modules_install

would i be able to make kernel module intelfb (video driver for intel) and install it as a module or do i need to rebuild the kernel?

Yes, usually you can add modules to the shipped kernel, as long as you use the same compiler (compiletc) and don't change the config in incompatible ways.

(though, why would you use intelfb when we have intel KMS?)
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
