Still problems with nvidia-agp on 2.6.0-test5(-mm1). I can't track down
the problem because my box needs a hard reboot. My card is nvidia. So
they should work together. On 2.4.23-pre3, there's no problem anymore.
Works fine, but why not in 2.6.0-test5? Any ideas why it crashes? Any
fix? If you need me to investigate more. Tell me how.

I get similar crashes with minion.de's patches and the nForce2 AGPGART. I'm in 
the process of tracking it down.

For the moment you can just disable AGPGART in your kernel and use the 
provided NVAGP, Option "NvAGP" "1" in your XF86Config. You will get AGP 8x in 
XFree86, which is probably all you want.

Did it work in previous 2.5/2.6 kernels? Does it work with the built-in
AGP drivers? (NvAGP=1 I think)

Thanks,
Rahul

Hello Rahul,
No, it havent worked atleast since -test2, because that's when I bought
the new CPU, board and RAM. I'll try to come up with something. This 2.4
is a bit slow with these things, that's why I want to use 2.6, with old
computer there was a noticeable differnce in speed from 2.4 to 2.6. And
for others, I have the patch for nvidia drivers from minion.de. The card
worked _GREAT_ with my old board, untill test2, when I bought my new
board.

Thanks.

Hello Alistair,

I've tested everything, I think. It just can't use AGP 4x. I tryed with
NvAGP 1 and 3. Here's the output in /var/log/XFree86.0.log:
[...snip...]
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "NvAGP" "3"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Use of any AGP requested (try AGPGART, then try NVIDIA's
AGP)
[...snip...]
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Failed to verify AGP usage
[...snip...]
And I just noticed that 2.4 is not telling me the truth. The agp isn't
enbaled there either. I don't know anything to do anymore.
Looks like linux totally lacks support for my Mobo. *sigh*.
