To follow up, My XF86Config option for "NvAGP" is "1". I tried "3" and the machine freezes; hard boot required. As suggested, here's my output from dmesg. tree@quicksilver:~> dmesg | grep -i agp Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 940M agpgart: Detected AMD On-CPU GART chipset agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xf0000000 1: NVRM: not using NVAGP, AGPGART is loaded!! tree@quicksilver:~> dmesg | tail IPsec Security Policy Database (SPD): initialized.

My video card is an Albatron 256 MB GeForce4 5600 XE (or SE, I forget, just the 256 MB version). So, it appears that the stock kernel detects the on-board AGP (a AMD64 thing?) and just uses that. How can I turn that off. Forcing any other option on XF86Config currently crashes the machine. Thanks, -- Jason On Mon, 2004-03-01 at 11:33, mark.langsdorf@amd.com wrote:
Thanks for the response.
I am using the newest 2.4.193-smp kernel w/SATA.

AGP is enabled, though it doesn't look like you're getting 8x AGP. Weird.
If you do `dmesg | tail` you should see something like: 0: nvidia: loading NVIDIA Linux x86_64 NVIDIA kernel module 1.0-5332 AGP: Found AGPv3 capable device at 0:0:0 AGP: Found AGPv3 capable device at 1:0:0 AGP: Enough AGPv3 devices found, setting up... AGP: Setting up AGPv3 capable device at 0:0:0 AGP: Setting up AGPv3 capable device at 1:0:0
When I load X, I see the NVidia logo and GL works, but not sure about AGP.
Then the driver is definitely loading. OpenGL is harder to get than simple AGP support. I've never seen a system get GL support without 8x AGP support, but there's a first time for everything.
My mobo is a the MSI K8T800 Master FAR2.
I can't wait to try to get 2.6 working (well) then. I want (8x) AGP!
You shouldn't need it. I'm running 2.4.21-203, nVidia 10-5332 on a Tyan 2885 with 1 GB of memory and getting 8x AGP support.
Please check dmesg to see if the NVIDIA driver is giving any error messages. Thanks.
