I was going to suggest trying to get a copy of the kernel source of the kernel that you're running and build a agpgart.o module, but it looks like you're running 2.2.17, which is pretty ancient. It may work, though if you get a copy of the kernel source for 2.2.17 and configure it to build agpgart support and then build it but only copy out the agpgart.o module. One problem /might/ be that it looks like your build kernel (2.4.x) is pretty significantly different from your running kernel (2.2.x). It might be that XFree86 configured itself for features present on a 2.4 kernel and is now confused by the difference of the 2.2 kernel. Maybe if you rebuild on 2.2.17? And install a agpgart.o module? This sounds like a crazy project, but I understand that it's sometimes necessary and I hope it works out well for you. -Andy _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
