The whole mess is due to bad AGP drivers in the kernel, so weird things may or |
| 14 |
may not happen on various machines once AGP is enabled and used. The solution |
| 15 |
is to prevent any use of AGP, which also explains the performance loss in |
| 16 |
DRI. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I posted a bug about it a few days ago and the PPC FAQ will be amended to |
| 19 |
mention this easy solution. New AGP drivers are on their way and hopefully |
| 20 |
the situation will improve, even with AGP turned on. |
