1 Okay, let's start over. I have only posted the first post of this thread,
2 but I would say that all off the noise may imply that I am not alone here.
3
4 -I have a working setup in 2.4, less so now than before, but xorg does
5 still work.
6
7 -in 2.6, xorg will break and complain that /dev/agpgart does not exist.
8
9 -/dev/agpgart, in fact, does not exist when using Udev in 2.6, yet it does
10 exist when I reboot into 2.4
11
12 -modprobe agpgart will result in an error
13
14 -genkernel --udev --menuconfig all will not show me an option that refers
15 to AGP anything, is this a bus?
16
17 -I run this in an old HP Pavilion, 500 Mhertz Celeron, 128 meg ram with
18 i810 onboard chipsets, Xorg originally autodetected everything including
19 the resolution of my Komodo monitor. I didn't know it went that high.
20
21 -I tried compiling the kernel directly once and got a kernel panic, I
22 don't remember if AGP was mentioned in that case.
