Jacob & Pierre,
This has been a long-lasting subject for discussions
(see old archives). It seems there has been a dialect
change in Linux commands with the change to 2.6.x ....
I noticed that 'insmod' (kernel 2.4.27) was equal to
'modprobe' in kernel 2.6.11 ... so you can try that.
If you are prepared to run 'Linrad' as super-user, then
you can change Makefile.conf (of SVGALIB) and uncomment
the line: # NO_HELPER = y (remove the first character #).
After 'make install' and 'make svga' you should have no
complaints about the helper module if you run 'su'
(password asked) and then: ./linrad
The above is from faint memory; good luck!

Hi Jacob,
Suse 9.3 uses kernel 2.6.11 and requires therefore kernel modules with a
".ko" extension instead of a ".o" extension.
However, even with the right " .ko" extension , you will probably get
the following error message: "-1 Unknown symbol in module" when you try
to "insmod' the svgalib_helper.ko module.
At least , that's what I get on my Suse9.3 system :-(
Up to now I haven't found a solution for that problem.
Maybe someone else on the list has a solution.

Subject: [linrad] insmod svgalib_helper.o module error
Hi Linrad users,
I have tried to compile svgalib-1.9.21 in SUSE 9.3. No error of
compilation. When I try to read the module with insmod svgalib_helper.o I
receive the following message of error :
insmod: error inserting 'svgalib_helper.o': -1 Invalid module format.
Someone can help me ?
Thanks
Jacob, ic8fax
