It compiles and runs fine - xorg backlight and resolution also work
nicely now - thanks!

I have a problem with loading modules though - when I do

	modprobe g_ether

Then I get:

	FATAL: Error inserting g_ether (/lib/modules/3.2.0-rc3+/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_ether.ko): Invalid module format

and in dmesg:

	[   94.176971] g_ether: no symbol version for module_layout

my kernel version:

	# uname -r
	3.2.0-rc3+

The probably important bits from modinfo:

	# modinfo /lib/modules/3.2.0-rc3+/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_ether.ko
	filename:       /lib/modules/3.2.0-rc3+/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_ether.ko
	vermagic:       3.2.0-rc3+ preempt mod_unload modversions ARMv7 

The same happens with any other kernel module I want to load.

To make it work I have to use:

	modprobe g_ether --force-modversion

So it is some versioning problem but I can't figure out the source of
the error as the version strings seem fine, right?

cheers, josch
