Dkms (xpad) on one of my pcs, installs but does not load module

[Jeronimo17]

Hi, I am trying to install an xpad modification with dkms but it keeps loading the internal kernel xpad module on the pc I need it on, on other pc it works for me.

PC that never loads the "extra" module

Code: Select all

$ sudo dkms install -m xpad -v 0.4

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/xpad/0.4/source ->
                 /usr/src/xpad-0.4

What do I have to look at to see the problem?

Thank you

If I make a copy of "/lib/modules/5.4.0-113-generic/extra/xpad.ko to xpad4.ko" depmod sees it.

Code: Select all

$ depmod -v | grep xpad
