Does that mean I need to update the kernel? I found the following information on the agpgart you refer to at: http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/845driver.html In addition to building/installing XFree86 CVS code, a recent 2.4.x kernel is needed. 2.4.19 or later is recommended. If you want to use the DRI support, an updated i830 DRM module is also required, and it is best to build one from either the XFree86 or DRI source tree. To do this you will also need your kernel source installed. Here is an example of how to build and load the i830 DRM module: # cd xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel # make -f Makefile.linux i830.o # modprobe agpgart # rmmod i830 # insmod i830.o Here is an example of how to install the i830 DRM module so that it will be loaded automatically when needed: # mv /lib/module/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i830.o \ /lib/module/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i830.o.save # cp i830.o /lib/module/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm For full functionality when using the 852GM, 855GM or 865G chipsets, an updated agpgart kernel module is also required. A patch for the 2.4.20 kernel can be found here, a patch for the 2.5.56 kernel is here, and a tarball with the complete source for the agpgart driver in a form that can be built standalone for 2.4.x and older 2.5.x kernels can be found here. The 852GM, 855GM and 865G support should be included with future 2.5.6x kernels. > I couldn't find where agpgart is loaded. It needs to be loaded for you > video card to work well. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
