The version string is obviously incorrect and indicates that you are
trying to load a module built for a Pentium 4 CPU on a kernel built for
a 386 CPU. That ain't gonna work.

I fail to understand why people are surprised by this. The driver works
fine without the kernel module, but of course with no 3D acceleration.
This is well known ad it is written in several places throughout the
documentation I wrote. For example,
