Description:
After the latest kernel update the Intel graphic card of my Dell D610 is now working with the intel driver, but I still get strange error messages in Xorg.0.log and DRI is not enabled. maybe the module needs only a recompile.

Additional info:

I can't reproduce it here on both i686 and x86_64. Can you run "sudo modprobe --version" and "sudo insmod --version"? It should return something like "module-init-tools version 3.11.1".

I found other error messages, probably the driver is still incomplete, sorry for the bug report

Can you attach the full output of dmesg?

I also tried 'mkinitcpio -p kernel26' like suggested in  FS#17657  but did not worked.

drm_kms_helper doesn't contain that symbol. It looks like you have installed updated drm modules. Can you look in /lib/modules for multiple versions of drm_kms_helper.ko? If you installed nouveau-drm for example, you will have one in the updates directory, which contains the duplicate symbol from your error logs.

pacman -Rd nouveau-drm solves the problem.

I made the mistake of installing the group xorg-video-drivers (I was in a hurry), and it also installs nouveau-drm....

Maybe it should not be in that group, since incompatible with the intel driver.

Hmm, that driver should not be in that group, as it's not an officially supported driver. Besides not being officially supported, it installs a git snapshot of the drm modules, causing errors like the one you're seeing.
