I've recently bought a new mobo, the Abit KG7-Raid, and I've run into some trouble trying to get the agpgart to work correctly. Everytime I load it on kernel 2.4.9 (nonpatched, straigt from the tarball) I get messages like 'Unsupported chipset; try try_unsupported' (or smthing, not entirely sure about the msg anymore since I'm not on that PC right now). I've tried what it advices, but still it keeps on giving that error. Anyone got a clue? Thanks, Devil -- devilkin@gmx.net ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Either append 'agp_try_unsupported' to lilo or use it as an option on modules. Ex: modprobe agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1 Steve ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Try my patch (just reposted as `[PATCH] AGP GART for AMD 761'), it will enable the AGP GART to work with the 761 natively, so you can use it without try_unsupported=1 and thus statically in the kernel or as a module. Please let me know if it works, as I don't have an AMD 761. -- Robert M. Love rml at ufl.edu rml at tech9.net ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

(Sent this data to the list here, if you still fail with your attempt.) First and second byte are the vendor id (AMD = 1022) in low high order. Third and forth value form the low and the high part of the chips device id. List of device ids: AMD 751 0x7006 (Irongate) AMD 761 0x700E (IGD4) AMD 762 0x700C SMP versions not listed here, see http://www.yourvote.com/pci/pciread.asp?venid=0x1022 for more device IDs. Kernel source from 2.4.9 shows up with support for the AMD 751. Since follow up chips often do not change much, the ===> "agp_try_unsupported=1" <=== option will cause the driver to apply the 751 code onto any other chipset that has AMD as its vendor, as long as AGP registers are found for it. This should do the job for several versions, or crash rahter fast if the chipset is no longer compatible. regards AlexS. PS: i am not subscribed to this list.
