The s3 won't hurt, it'll just build something that won't get used, |
| 6 |
just like the vga and fbdev. The vesa is nice to have as a |
| 7 |
fallback. |

An ASRock board with a K8M800. Too bad, 3D acceleration won't work: |

If you're content with how things are working now and don't intend |
| 16 |
to use 3D apps like Blender or ppracer, then you're done. But if |
| 17 |
you would like to have at least the rudiments of 3D acceleration, |
| 18 |
then grep your kernel .config file for AGP and DRM and check that |
| 19 |
the following are set, and only these (to y or to m): |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
CONFIG_AGP=y |
| 22 |
CONFIG_AGP_AMD64=y |
| 23 |
CONFIG_DRM=y |
| 24 |
CONFIG_DRM_VIA=y |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
You can set them under Device Drivers > Character Devices. |

Store your current Xorg.0.log, then reboot with the new kernel and |
| 29 |
diff the old Xorg log with the new one to see what has changed. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
When it works, you can try adding 'Option "EnableAGPDMA"' to |
| 32 |
'Section "Device"' in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to gain just a |
| 33 |
bit more responsiveness. |
