<hehe!!> We're in this one together buddy! I managed to buy one of |
| 12 |
those motherboards today from NewEgg. I'll be building the machine |
| 13 |
next week. |

Here's my guess. If you look at 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 the NVidia AGP |
| 16 |
support clearly says Nforce/Nforce2. My suspicion is that the AGP |
| 17 |
chipset support for this chipset (NForce4) isn't in the kernel yet and |
| 18 |
that we need to find a patch, or possibly look at a kernel.org kernel |
| 19 |
for like 2.6.13/14/15, etc. and find one that does. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Assuming that there isn't a patch then we get in line with the kernel |
| 22 |
developers and work to get one done. I had this problem with my laptop |
| 23 |
when I first got it and couldn't get DMA for the ATI cipset. It took |
| 24 |
between 30 and 60 days as I remember. |
| 25 |
|

Anyway, I bought one today so I'm in the life raft with ya! |
