hi,

From: Jeroen Leijen To: suse-amd64@suse.com Subject: [suse-amd64] Solved Re: [suse-amd64] Nvidia AMD64 1.0-5332 trouble

"NvAgp" "1" did the trick. So my system is using the Nvidia AGP module. I don't understand why X doesn't run when using the regular kernel module AGPGART (i.e. Option "NvAgp" "3", the default setting).

I had/have the same problem. In fact, setting "NvAGP" to 1 *DISABLES* AGP. see my explaination below.

1. Has anyone X running with agpgart using the system setup described below? 2. Benchmark exchange: jeroen@linux:~> glxgears 7695 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1539.000 FPS 8951 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1790.200 FPS

My Athlon 2400+ with GForce 4200 has a frame rate of: 31088 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6217.600 FPS 34026 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6805.200 FPS under Suse 8.2. Not knowing what hardware you have, I can't say if yours is running optimally. However, I have another machine with Athlon 64-3400+ with GF 5950Ultra, and I'm only getting about *600* FPS under Suse 9.0 (for AMD64). Changing "NvAGP" from "1" to "0" (0 disables AGP) resulted in the same frame rate. This is on 2.4.21 kernel. so, I suspect you have your AGP disabled.
