[Q] module_layout error? help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been trying for a few days to compile my own module for Geniatech ATV120 (same kernel as ATV1200), I've gotten as far as compile the modules and first I got Exec Error, but after making the changes to get the exact kernel version I now get “disagrees about version of symbol module_layout” so I wanted to know how the hid-sony.ko made by @fma965 (on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262421) since it works perfectly on my atv120, so I did this:
modinfo hid-sony.ko and I got this
filename: hid-sony.ko
license: GPL
alias: hid:b0003v0000054Cp0000024B
alias: hid:b0005v0000054Cp00000268
alias: hid:b0003v0000054Cp0000042F
alias: hid:b0003v0000054Cp00000268
depends:
vermagic: 3.0.8-g525c782 SMP preempt mod_unload modversions ARMv7
I did the same for my module
filename: joydev.ko

so everything seem correct, when to load it with insmod on my ATV120 and I got the “disagrees about version of symbol module_layout” error
ok, back to ubuntu. ran this:
modprobe --dump-modversions hid-sony.ko
0x4e362f07 module_layout
I noticed the module layout so I ran the same on my module
modprobe --dump-modversions joydev.ko
0x82bedd05 module_layout
that seems to be my problem, I know nothing about module layouts, but doing some google research I found I need the same Module.symvers but for the life of me I just cannot get the same one, seeing as @fma965 you are the only one that has been able to compile a module with this kernel, do you still have thie Module.symvers? or can you tell me what kernel you used? or anybody else have any info I could use?
Thanks!
